HP-UX Reference (11i v2 03/08) - 1 User Commands N-Z (vol 2)

p
ps(1) ps(1)
If two special files for terminals are located at the same select code, that terminal may be reported with
either name. The user can select processes with that terminal using either name.
Users of
ps must not rely on the exact field widths and spacing of its output, as these will vary depend-
ing on the system, the release of HP-UX, and the data to be displayed.
When non-standard options are mixed with standard options then the behavior may be non-standard.
DEPENDENCIES
HP Process Resource Manager
The -P and -R options require the optional HP Process Resource Manager (PRM) software to be installed
and configured. See prmconfig(1) for a description of how to configure HP PRM, and prmconf(4) for the
definition of "process resource group."
If HP PRM is not installed and configured and
-P or -R is specified, a warning message is displayed and
(for
-P) hyphens (-) are displayed in the
prmid and prmgrp columns.
