Subject: adding PPID to /usr/bin/ps

Tom and company,
I made a small change to /usr/bin/ps to display the PPID
parent process ID. Just add one variable to the "read" command.
then echo the extra variable:
read a b c d x<$i/stat
echo "$a $d $c $b 'cat -v $i/cmdline'"
This helps me keep the processes straight. a is the PID and d is the
PPID. I only added five bytes.
Tom's RTBT is fascinating. It's a great way to learn about Linux
and sharpen my scripting skills.
Thanks,
Kevin
in
Kathleen, Georgia
