Hi, I was playing with ps on FreeBSD with kern.ps_showallprocs=0 and I was surprised when I have seen that I may see info about running process, if I know it's ID sirat@fremen:ttyp3:~> ps -u5710 USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND seeba 5710 0,0 0,0 1388 0 p6 IWsJ - 0:00,00 -tcsh (tcsh) I may see also root's processes: sirat@fremen:ttyp3:~> ps -u205 USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND root 205 0,0 0,1 2064 264 ?? IsJ 9:23 0:00,05 /usr/sbin/sshd and ps axu gives: sirat@fremen:ttyp3:~> ps axu USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND sirat 40384 0,0 0,1 428 272 p3 R+J 18:53 0:00,00 ps axu root 515 0,0 0,3 1744 600 ??

What do You think? P.S. I have FreeBSD 4.6-PRERELEASE #0 and I checked it also on 4.5-STABLE P.P.S. It works like that: ps -<argument><pid> and the argument isn't needed -- ## Jakub Filonik <sirat@is.one.of.fremen.g0ds.org> ## ADM: fremen.g0ds.org [213.25.59.48] ## PGP: http://fremen.g0ds.org/~sirat/sirat-pub.pgp ## CHAT: [ICQ: 35638062] [GG: 533719] [IRC: #Tabr]
