All,
Whew, this list is BLAZING....
/usr/ucb/ps was the answer. Use all the arguments I used to
use (ps ewww). Just change the path, and I am going!
Thank you all for your help. Still getting used to where
everything is located on the machine, and finding out that a Netra
install is not as complete as I thought. We had to add the
"development" modules back in to the system to get the compiler to
work, but it is obvious that there is still some stuff missing. There
are only about 12 CD's with this beast, and I haven't gotten around to
looking at most of them. But I got ps (from another sun), and my
process checker is working again...
Thanks to the instant help of:
Miguel Marques <miguel@YorkU.CA>
Stephen Harris <sweh@mpn.com>
Daniel Lorenzini <lorenzd@gcm.com>
Alex Finkel <afinkel@pfn.com>
Casper Dik <casper@holland.Sun.COM>
And to anyone else who has seen the message, knows the answer,
and either already sent a message I haven't gotten, but were going to
reply real soon.
And yes, I (as a newbie to this list, but not to others) am VERY
VERY impressed by the speed of the response.
Hope I can help someone someday!
James
