Argh; I really should know better by now than to read man pages on a Leopard machine on which I haven't mucked out personally the 4500 or so man pages that remain from Tiger when doing an upgrade install. :-( I guess the line proposed by Evan - using "ps xww -p pid" is correct for Tiger and Leopard anyway. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
