To all:I was able to grab the current procps... rpm file from the openSuse listing, created a temporary folder and executed the following command
%rpm2cpio procps-3.3.15-7.22.1.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idThis unpacked the rpm archive, and allowed me to copy the executables to the correct location on my hard drive.
I was able to successfully restore the ps command, so it now works.I do appreciate the response that Wes gave me, he is very knowledgeable on Linux issues.
Thanks Wes! - Randall
