Hi Curtis, I am sorry. From a very long time ago I set the environment variable I_WANT_A_BROKEN_PS and it screws up (as it rightly advertises!) the workings of ps. I only ever use ps aux which it does not tamper with so it never occurred to me that this problem was lurking. It's been there for many, many years and I never noticed.
Anyway, maybe using "pidof" as a check would be a good alternative to using ps? You can close this bug. (could you please cc me if you have any replies) Thanks, Morten -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
