I've mostly gotten used to the SysV way now, but when I ran the usb ps I always typed the -, since it worked, and I always thought it was funny that all the other commands used - options, why didn't ps need them? Then again it's good ps didn't require them or this merge wouldn't be possible. -Kyle > Besides, I've never used the leading - on the arguments to /usr/ucb/ps. > > _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
