I can still (2.6.24 kernel, lenny up-to-date) reproduce with command (wrapped for readability, OK for cut-and-paste into xterm, ctrl-C when had enough):
while :; do \ date; /bin/ps -o lstart,command | grep /ps; date; echo; \ done | \ perl -ne ' BEGIN { $/ = "\n\n" } @x=grep(s/^(... ... .. ..:..:..).*$/$1/, split(/\n/)); $p=""; $z=0; $z ||= $p gt $_, $p=$_ foreach @x; print if $z' that shows things like: Wed Aug 25 12:36:44 EST 2010 Wed Aug 25 12:36:43 2010 /bin/ps -o lstart,command Wed Aug 25 12:36:44 EST 2010 Should the tag "unreproducible" be removed?
