I don't think it is ps's place to do so. ps doesn't usually do much of "find me a process that in its list has..", it is generally a 1:1 relationship "find me a process with UID x".
ps also doesn't really have a way of displaying multiple values for a process in any sensible fashion. I really don't think it fits well within ps. At a stretch it might be a select option but it doesn't work well with a display option. > Currently if you have a process with a supplementary GID of 0 then > grepping /proc seems to be the only way to discover this fact. So, its more you are looking for something that finds any process that has a supplementary GID of, say, 0? To me that would me more like what pgrep/pkill should be doing. Would that make more sense? ie pgrep --some-flag <supplementary-gid> would should all pids of processes that have that supplementary gid. - Craig -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 http://www.enc.com.au/ csmall at : enc.com.au http://www.debian.org/ Debian GNU/Linux, software should be Free -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
