I agree that it may not be necessary to control the display of P_SYSTEM procs separately, but as mnemonic, -k sounds like kernel, kthread, and there's no "k" in "tHread". :) If -k would become free for other uses, just for consideration: - in FreeBSD and Solaris, -k is unused - in NetBSD, -k specifies the sort order - in Linux' procps, "k" specifies the sort order As for -H: - in FreeBSD, -H shows "kernel visible" threads (and "ps -Hx" shows threads of kernel threads as well, whereas "ps -x" shows just the main thread/proc) - in NetBSD, -H is unused - in Linux, -H switches to a tree display - in Solaris, -H enables the "locality group" column (LGRP) (I've done just a quick cross-check. Maybe I missed something.)
