Hi All,

Running a DS20, Tru64 5.1A, no Patch Kits.

I issue the ps command and get:

# ps
   PID TTY S TIME CMD
  1633 console ???+ ?? /usr/sbin/getty console console vt100
  2172 pts/1 ???+ ?? -ksh (ksh)
  2173 pts/2 ???+ ?? -ksh (ksh)
  2174 pts/3 ???+ ?? -ksh (ksh)
490132 pts/5 ???+ ?? -ksh (ksh)
 63183 pts/7 ??? ?? ksh
 67142 pts/7 ???+ ?? ps

I do a more elaborate ps and get:

# ps -o time,state,psxpri,pgid,pid,command
       TIME S PPR PGID PID COMMAND
         ?? ???+ ? 1633 1633 /usr/sbin/getty console console vt100
         ?? ???+ ? 2172 2172 -ksh (ksh)
         ?? ???+ ? 2173 2173 -ksh (ksh)
         ?? ???+ ? 2174 2174 -ksh (ksh)
         ?? ???+ ? 490132 490132 -ksh (ksh)
         ?? ??? ? 63183 63183 ksh
         ?? ???+ ? 65084 65084 ps -o time,state,psxpri,pgid,pid,command

Any idea(s) what all the question marks (?? and ???) indicate???

(I tried searching the archives, but couldn't get the search engine
to look for "??" or "???", maybe no one's seen this before?)

Thanks!

Jim
