Oracle just released Oracle Appliction Server 4.0.7 and is using some of outdated ps arguments like "ps mh" and "ps pw" that cause problems in runing applications. Would it be posible to make backward compatible version of ps that implements these commands as defined in RedHat Relase 6.0.36 ps pw 1 # not working in procps-2.0.2-3, either only johnsonm can figure this out :-) The p option is defined to mean that the next option is the process id to list. pw means list process w. To make ps DWYM in this case would make the code significantly harder to follow. ps m is simply unimplemented. The kernel doesn't give enough info to trace threads. To implement it for convenience in this case would be to cause trouble in other cases. To clarify what I said earlier: to *fake* an implementation of tracing threads could be detrimental in other cases and would, in fact, give undefined resultes for oracle. I'd rather see a shell script to fix the oracle shell scripts than try to hack ps to pretend to try to do the right thing and perhaps screw up other software that depends on ps... |
