Though I beleive the net effect of that won't be any different (other than other uses for the env. var.) than if the code key's off argv[0]. Everyone seems to agree to merge the code. The difference of opinion seems to be whether the new merged behavior should be available in both /usr/ucb/ps and /usr/bin/ps, or only in /usr/bin/ps. Either way there's only one ps source to maintain, so that in itself is a win. -Kyle _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
