HP-UX Reference (11i v3 07/02) - 1 User Commands N-Z (vol 2)

p
ps(1) ps(1)
If more than one of the -C
, -g, -G, -p, -R, -t,
-u, -Z, and -U options are specified, processes will be
selected if they match any of the options specified.
The lists used as arguments to the
-C
, -g, -G, -p, -R, -t,
-u, -Z, and -U options can be specified in one
of two forms:
• A list of identifiers separated from one another by a comma.
• A list of identifiers enclosed in quotation marks (
") and separated from one another by a comma
and/or one or more spaces.
Output Format Options
Use the following options to control which columns of data are included in the output listing. The options
are cumulative.
(none) The default columns are:
pid, tty
, time, and comm, in that order.
-f Show columns user, pid
, ppid, cpu, stime, tty, time, and args, in that
order.
-l Show columns flags, state, uid, pid, ppid, cpu, intpri
, nice, addr, sz,
wchan, tty, time, and comm, in that order.
-fl Show columns flags, state, user, pid, ppid, cpu, intpri
, nice, addr,
sz, wchan, stime, tty, time, and args, in that order.
-c (UNIX Standard Only, see standards(5)) Remove columns cpu and nice;replace
column intpri with columns cls and pri.
-j (UNIX Standard Only, see standards(5)) Add columns pgid and sid after column
ppid (or pid,ifppid is not being displayed).
-z Add column pset before column prmgrp / prmid.Ifprmgrp and prmid are not
present, add column
pset before column pid. (Note that ps displays the kernel
processor set id, where all kernel daemons run, as KERN).
The -z option is supported only if the kernel supports processor sets functionality.
-P Add column prmid (for -l)orprmgrp (for -f or -fl
) immediately before column
pid. See the DEPENDENCIES section.
-o format (UNIX Standard Only, see standards(5)) format is a comma- or space-separated list of
the columns to display, in the order they should be displayed. (Valid column names
are listed below.) A column name can optionally be followed by an equals sign (=
) and
a string to use as the heading for that column. (Any commas or spaces after the
equals sign become part of the column heading. If more columns are desired, they
must be specified with additional
-o options.) The width of the column will be the
greater of the width of the data to be displayed and the width of the column heading.
If an empty column heading is specified for every heading, no heading line will be
printed. This option overrides options -c, -f, -j, -l
, -z, and -P; if they are
specified, they are ignored.
-H (UNIX Standard Only.) Shows the process hierarchy. Each process is displayed
under its parent, and the contents of the
args or comm column for that process is
indented from that of its parent. Note that this option is expensive in both memory
and speed.
-x Shows the command line in extended format.
The column names and their meanings are given below. Except where noted, the default heading for each
column is the uppercase form of the column name.
addr The memory address of the process, if resident; otherwise, the disk address.
args The command line given when the process was created. This column should be the
last one specified, if it is desired. Only a subset of the command line is saved by the
kernel; as much of the command line will be displayed as is available. The output in
this column may contain spaces. The default heading for this column is COMMAND if
-o is specified and CMD otherwise.
cls Process scheduling class, see rtsched(1).
