It looks like ls has forked a copy of itself and is waiting for input or waiting to send output to the terminal or has been stopped. That is what the 'T' means in the ps listing. Are you sure you are executing /bin/ls and not some other ls program in your PATH? Try doing an strace on the stopped process and see where it stopped. -- Smoot Carl-Mitchell Systems/Network Architect email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cell: +1 602 421 9005 home: +1 480 922 7313 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
