The output is inconsistent across procps utils as well. In top my username is shown as "baldridg" (instead of baldridgeec) whereas ps shows "1000".
ps already has the option "n" to format UIDs as numbers in case of visual confusion. I think by default it should truncate the name if necessary and rely on the user to use "ps un " or similar if they need the UID number. -- procps 3.2.3 onward use uids instead of usernames when they would truncate https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/14027 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
