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

ps(1) ps(1)
ps -f -C cron
WARNINGS
Processes can change while
ps is running. The ps command displays processes at only a snapshot in time.
Data printed for defunct processes is irrelevant.
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 depending
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.
