Synopsis: ps(1) to support SysV-style options? State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: iedowse State-Changed-When: Fri Nov 16 18:56:17 PST 2001 State-Changed-Why: Realistically, I don't think this is likely to happen, although a ps supporting SysV arguments could be done as a port. FreeBSD's ps supports only BSD-style options simply because it is a BSD ps. Also the leading `-' is part of the documented way to specify arguments to FreeBSD's ps, so using it to signify SysV arguments would break countless scripts and confuse users. http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=19124 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
