There are two manual pages ps(1) and ps(1b). I probably should add a cross reference to both the manual pages. The ps behaviour is different on how it is called and which arguments you pass: /usr/bin/ps - defaults to SVr4 /usr/ucb/ps - defaults to UCB If there's at least one argument and it doesn't start with a "-", use ucb. If there's at least one argument and it starts with a "-", see if they're not all ucb options, use SVr4. Else use the default. ps uxga /usr/ucb/ps -uxga (as above) /usr/bin/ps -uxga (error: ps: unknown user xga) /usr/ucb/ps -ef (just like SVr4 ps -ef) Casper _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
