Ton,

Thanks for the note. I totally understand the ps issue. A few jobs  
ago, I was in an entirely Solaris environment, and it took me about 6  
months before it got natural for me to run 'ps -ef' vs 'ps ax' (or the  
older 'ps -ax'). Then, when I left that job and returned to a Linux  
environment, I kept banging 'ps -ef' for months.

Joe
