-k in AIX /usr/bin/ps is documented as "Lists kernel processes" in the manpage. This ps implementation has a split personality like Linux procps, in that SysVish and BSDish syntax both work. AIX /usr/sysv/ps doesn't have a -k option. Tru64 4.0 doesn't seem to support -k at all. AIX is the only commercial UNIX I'm seeing in job listings these days, for what that's worth. Solaris seems to be a corpse, and the flies are swarming. I guess people really don't need "DTrace and ZFS" after all ;-) John
