- How about documenting it :-) Never mind, I'll wait for Michael to figure it out.
-
- This /will/ get documented. I need to do two things first:
- 1) make a few tiny bug fixes (don't panic -- it won't crash, there
- are just a few places where I am not sure that the numbers are
- right.
- 2) finish writing my /proc-based ps. It is almost complete, and I am
- just debugging it and finishing fixing /proc at the same time. I
- hope to have it out by the time linux 1.0 is released, or shortly
- thereafter.
-
- Now the MFAQ: getting ps to work.
- simple doing ps -U sort of works but doesn't print the command line just the
- command name. doing ps -U Image /dev/swap results in bad magic number.
-
- This are exactly the problems that my ps will address. NO more ps
- recompiles every time you recompile the kernel. (only to fix bugs in
- ps ;-)
