Re^4: 'A' web server takes another "time out" (root)

Heh, but that doesn't show me the one thing I'm interested in, the parent PID. The 'top' and 'ps' output don't have to be in sync; I just need a snapshot of 'ps' output at some point during the "bad time" in order to see who owns the newest 'httpd' processes.

FYI, your hoping wasn't enough (:

ps: euid: keyword not found
ps: egid: keyword not found
ps: ni:2: keyword not found
ps: vsz:6: keyword not found
ps: rss:6: keyword not found
ps: stat:3: keyword not found
ps: tname:6: keyword not found
ps: stime: keyword not found
ps: bsdtime: keyword not found
ps: args: keyword not found
  PID %CPU %MEM
    0  0.0  0.0
    1  0.0  0.0
    2  0.0  0.0

Kanji, Some of the other information suggested is probably useful to tye. In most cases, the specification of width doesn't work as pointed out below. In a few others, the keywords were invalid for FreeBSD's ps. The interesting thing is that 'args' is listed as a valid key word in TFM but still complained even though no width was specified.

`ps: euid: keyword not found ps: egid: keyword not found ps: ni:2: keyword not found` [download] Great :^(. It seems that that `ps` doesn't support field width. The field for the PPID is surprinsingly ;^) called "ppid". After searching for the manpage on google, I'd try something like `ps -j`, `ps -l` and `ps -a -x -o pid,ppid` (this last one is just for testing if `ppid` works). -- David Serrano	[reply] [d/l]

Well, "ppid" is one of the values to be specified for option "-o", "ps(1)". Try something like (tested on one of the Pair shared hosts running FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE) ... `ps -wwax -o ppid,pid,pgid,rss,vsz,nice,%mem,%cpu,rgid,ruser,user,stat, +command \ \| sort -k1,1n -k2,2n` [download] ... there are other options listed related to paging & swapping, and (real & saved) user & group id. If you specify the "-c" option along with "-o command", only command name will show up (w/o the arguments).	[reply] [d/l]
