From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011012 Description of problem: We need an option to ps to suppress the display of threads. The manpage suggests a -m option to show threads (suggesting an obvious -M to suppress them?) but the version shipped with Red Hat Linux responds "ps: error: Thread display not implemented". This is coming up in a number of contexts and so is a relatively high priority. --- This should be tied to the work that is already being done to have the kernel export some information on threads (tgid) which should already be underway. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.ps -m 2. 3. Actual Results: ps: error: Thread display not implemented. Additional info:
Fixed in 2.0.7-18
The "fix" leaves no way to display the complete list of pids (even if they are just threads). There should be an option to have the old behavior. -m doesn't display them
On what system does -m not work? It does work for me on e.g. RH 8.0.
