When I execute the following ps command utilizing the wide display this is what I get ps -axw | grep smtp 6180 ? S 0:00 spawn -n policy -t unix user=nobody argv=/usr/bin/perl /usr/sbin/smtpd-policy.pl 6832 ? Ssl 12:34 /usr/sbin/named -u named -t /var/named/chroot 9415 ? S 0:00 spawn -n policy -t unix user=nobody argv=/usr/bin/perl /usr/sbin/smtpd-policy.pl 9503 ? S 0:00 trivial-rewrite -n rewrite -t unix -u 9508 ? S 0:00 spawn -n policy -t unix user=nobody argv=/usr/bin/perl /usr/sbin/smtpd-policy.pl 9550 ? S 0:00 smtpd -n smtp -t inet -u -o stress 9551 ? S 0:00 spawn -n policy -t unix user=nobody argv=/usr/bin/perl /usr/sbin/smtpd-policy.pl 9553 ? S 0:00 spawn -n policy -t unix user=nobody argv=/usr/bin/perl /usr/sbin/smtpd-policy.pl 9556 ? S 0:00 spawn -n policy -t unix user=nobody argv=/usr/bin/perl /usr/sbin/smtpd-policy.pl 9645 ? S 0:00 smtpd -n smtp -t inet -u -o stress 9647 ? S 0:00 smtpd -n smtp -t inet -u -o stress Having said that should I consider this to mean NO stress? Let me clarify, I'm not asking if I am running with the stress option here, but if the system is actually under stress and does what you state above reflect if it is running with the option -vs- a system actually under stress? Thanks!
