the prog has given up it's tty.
either after running the prog , the user has logged of
or prog has executed setpgrp() or something like that.
may it has closed fd 0,1,2.

Hi,

What does the '?' in the below ps -e output indicate ?

[rajesh@ho rajesh]$ ps -e |grep fetchmail
 3799 ?        00:00:00 fetchmail


It should show tty no. isn't it ?

It should be like below. Why it is coming as '?'. The above fetchmail is
started when a remote user dials in and checks his mail. How it is starting
fetchmail is a puzzle to me. It should not start fetchmail isn't it ?

[rajesh@ho rajesh]$ ps -e |grep pppd     
 3571 ttyS1    00:00:00 pppd

Can anybody find some reason why this is happening ?

Peace
