- Hi,
- I have applied the ps patch in unofficial/wiliams and still don't get
- the "right" values from ps.
-
- How do I know that they are wrong? There obvious.
- 1) ps -Cgaux reports some processes have a CPU usage of -1%. My machine isn't
- anythig special, so I assume this is wrong.
-
- 2) ps -gaux reports all processes have a CPU and MEM usage of 0%.
-
- 3) ps -gaux reports that some processes start at incredible dates. eg 23APR39
- I don't think there were many '386 DX boxes arround at this time, mine
- certainly wasn't.
-
- These bugs could make quite a story - 386BSD produced in 1939 was *so* quick
- that the processes were often finished before they started, and they didn't
- require any memory at all. - Anyone think it'll make a best seller? :-)
-
-
- Back to the serious side of life. Are there fixes for these bugs, or do I have
- to write them myself ;-).
-
- Colin.
