Help, is this a bug with the "ps" command?
Type at UNIX prompt:
ps -F
Get error message and core file:
Bad system call - core dumped
This is a valid form of the "ps" command according to the
On-line manual page and the usage message printed by the "ps" command.
This flag is not in my latest UNIX manual: System V, Release 2.
When executed it yields a core dump.
The ps command will print out the following usage message:
usage: ps [ -edalfF ] [ -c corefile ] [ -s swapdev ]\
[ -n namelist ] [ -t tlist ]\
[ -p plist ] [ -u ulist ] [ -g glist ] [ -G FSSlist ]
The on-line manual page explains the F flag as follows:
-F Print the fair share group process assocation.
I have tried this on a 3B-20 and a VAX and have gotten the same result.
Output of "uname -a" command to identify systems:
System 1: houxu houxu SV_R2 10020 3B-20S
System 2: houxv houxv 2.0v2 11240 vax-780
I have two questions:
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
What does the "-F" flag mean?
