[HACKERS] set_ps_display on solaris x86

2003-02-13 Thread Sailesh Krishnamurthy 

Our students are (unfortunately) on solaris x86 (unfortunate because I
have to do another round of testing before I deploy pgsql code for
them to hack).

Sadly, set_ps_display does not seem to have any effect in solaris
x86. At least ps only reports multiple postmaster processes and
arguments. 

Is there some magic incantation to be chanted to get this to work ? 

Thanks !

IIRC, you have to use the other version of ps to see the process
status on Solaris.  I forget where it lives exactly, /usr/ucb maybe?

Yep, monitoring chapter mentions it:

  productnameSolaris/productname requires special handling. You must
  use command/usr/ucb/ps/command, rather than
  command/bin/ps/command. You also must use two commandw/command
  flags, not just one. In addition, your original invocation of the
  applicationpostmaster/application must have a shorter
  commandps/command status display than that provided by each
  backend.   If you fail to do all three things, the commandps/
  output for each backend will be the original
  applicationpostmaster/
  command line.
