I have no idea what this means... 9:09pm [root@cartman] /usr/local/etc -> ps auxw | grep su root 19247 0.0 1.4 592 888 p0 RV 31Dec69 0:00.00 -su (tcsh) root 19200 0.0 1.4 592 888 p0 D 9:05PM 0:00.16 -su (tcsh) each time I execute this commant the above su's PID increments to the next available PID, so it appears to be a transient thing. But what IS it? and it's been running since December 31st, 1969??? ;^) This is probably my ignorance showing through, but it's just confusing as all heck to me. Can anyone explain this?
