I'm all for getting rid of things that are just plain broken and have been that way for a very long time. However, I've seen a few scripts and documented procedures that reference /usr/ucb/ps and the arguments supported by it but not /usr/bin/ps. Getting rid of ps(1b) would slow adoption in a very small number of cases that I am aware of. This is not insurmountable but it inconveniences the same group that make the argument that top is a more convenient tool than multiple windows running prstat and vmstat. -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
