- To get ps working again after installing a new version of the
- kernel, you need to execute 'ps -U'. It takes, as an additional
- argument, the 'system' file in the ......linux/tools/ directory.
- This process updates the psdatabase file in /etc. As a side issue,
- this means that you must be able to compile the kernel on your
- system in order to get ps working after an upgrade.
-
- Side note--Doesn't one of the new versions of linux, either 0.98.6 or
- 0.99, introduce a /proc file system? I think that that new feature
- removes the need for a compiled 'ps' utility. I saw a perl script that
- provides some ps functionality without having to compile ps or run
- ps -U.
