Well, perhaps ... but I can't figure out how to use it to get what I want. Suppose that I have several 'ps' instances running, and I do ... ps -C ps u Let's use the term "my process" to refer to the process that gets invoked by this command line. Is there a way to use the --deselect option to show all of the 'ps' instances except my process? In other words, how would I distinguish my process from all the other 'ps' processes? -- Lloyd Zusman [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
