Hello list.
I am sending the message again.
I am running OSF1 V4.0 Patch 440.
I have the ps command behaving very strange.
When i do
bash%ps aux
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY S STARTED TIME
COMMAND

===========================================================
And then instantly reentering the same command i have the normal
ouptut.
I have used the ps binary from the operating system CD ,considering
that the /sbin/ps could be somehow corrupted
but still the same results.Also the same results running the command
from different shells
What could be the hint for this problem ???
Thanks in advance
