- You need to do the following command each time you recompile your kernel to
- update the information in the database.
-
- ps -U /usr/src/linux/tools/system
-
- Replace the /usr/src with the prefix to where you installed the linux source.
-
- This will update the file /etc/psdatabase with the necessary information to
- run ps properly. Or, you could install perl and get the ps scripts someone
- posted a while back. They should allways work from now on.
