- Just tried to run a number of shell scripts which depend heavily upon the
- `c' flag in ps. It turns out that in the ps taken from HJ's 0.99.2 rootdisk
- the c flag is absent. This causes shell scripts containing such things as
-
- while ps auxc | grep uucico > /dev/null
- do
- sleep
- done
-
- to fail. Instead of passing through with no effect when uucico is not
- running, this will always produce output of `grep uucico' and will therefore
- sleep forever. So all of my uucp cleanup scripts are now not working. Is there
- a workaround to this problem? Thanks,
-
- Bill
