We just applied patch kit #5 to a 5.1a system to fix a problem and now
several processes (all the Netbackup ones) show up in a 'ps' listing
with brackets around the command (and command paths and params no longer
appear). E.g.,
pk#5:
root 877 1 0.0 14:18:19 ?? 0:00.55 [ltid]
root 883 1 0.0 14:18:19 ?? 0:00.31 [bprd]
root 885 1 0.2 14:18:19 ?? 0:06.03 [vmd]
root 889 1 0.0 14:18:19 ?? 0:01.04 [bpdbm]
root 985 877 0.0 14:18:23 ?? 0:00.03 [acsd]
root 1038 877 0.0 14:18:25 ?? 0:00.03 [tldd]
root 1095 877 0.0 14:18:27 ?? 0:08.37 [avrd]
root 1096 985 0.0 14:18:27 ?? 0:00.01 [acssel]
pk#4:
root 439603 440795 0.0 Aug 26 ?? 2:39.99 avrd
root 440722 1 0.0 Aug 26 ?? 2:26.44 vmd -v
root 440765 1 0.0 Aug 26 ?? 0:00.00 portmap
root 440767 1 0.0 Aug 26 ?? 0:09.50
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bprd
root 440795 1 0.0 Aug 26 ?? 0:12.70
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/ltid
root 440820 1 0.0 Aug 26 ?? 0:01.49 tldcd -v
root 440833 440891 0.0 Aug 26 ?? 0:00.17 acsssi 13741
root 440842 440795 0.0 Aug 26 ?? 0:00.58 tldd -v
root 440853 440891 0.0 Aug 26 ?? 0:00.01 acssel -s 13740
/usr/bin/ps was patched but the old 'ps' also shows the changed output.
This is breaking several Netbackup scripts that apparently rely on that
output. I browsed the 119 patch list but could not readily identify
the one that made this change.
Anyone else seen this or know how to undo just this change.
