Hi all:
I was able to use cpio to unpack the good working copy of the ps binary
executable, and manually placed it into the proper location on my hard
drive, to restore ps command functionality.
Lo and behold, about 37 minutes later, my openSuse autoupdate program
comes along and says "You have 1 new update" "Recommended update for procps"
Over my dead body will I allow this software to do this update!
How did openSuse determine that I changed the ps command and restored it?
How did openSuse determine that my system need to be hit with a
recommended mandatory update that won't go away until I actually give in
and accede to this disabling update which destroys ps functionality?
This whole thing has become obvious now, and I might write Novell and
let them know what I really think
