  16. From the clipboard of tchrist@convex.COM (Tom Christiansen):
  17. ! :Yeah, nice for {,k,z,ba}sh.  Why not simply
  18. ! :
  19. ! :        ps aux | ( line; sort -rn +3 )
  20. ! 
  21. ! line: Command not found.
  22.  
  23. Why complain?  Many ps variants will not recogise "aux" either.  In fact,
  24. most do not.  I can't think of a way to get a SVID2 ps to produce anywhere
  25. close to what that the requester obviously wanted to sort on, i.e. %CPU
  26. and %MEM.
