In ps is in /bin, top is in /usr/bin ; unless you a) have your PATH wrong or b) commonly put /bin on separate file systems, you should be able to use ps and others in /bin and /sbin. > addition,from the CLI; when I attempt to start services such as > 'portmap' and 'sshd' nothing is shown running via 'ps'.

When you enter single user mode, root file system is mounted read-only so one of the first things you need to do is "mount -u -o rw /". Next, you need to mount your other file systems (/usr is usually a separate file system and that's where ssh lives) so do "mount -a". At this point you might as well cancel the single-user mode by exiting the shell and go multi-user. If there are file system errors. "mount -a" will fail and you'll need to mount other file systems by hand. --------------enig6858630DBE61DDBFF519CD52 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIwVe+ldnAQVacBcgRAurRAJ9dGOCOmJWJGsjvqz3p6oHr6w8upgCeI/jr lPhV6euyMenIcRLGxsfVr9c= =2Mh3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig6858630DBE61DDBFF519CD52--
