I am sending this from school (on HP-UX) so I can not be as complete as I would like to be, but it seems I must have screwed up my mailer at home or something, because my previous post did not make it to the list.
In kernel 2.0.27, when you start a script, it shows up in the ps listing. For instance, if I had a script named, "foo"
(This is not real output. I doing this from memory, so I may make a mistake.)
andersee@Dillweed% foo & [1] 3295 andersee@Dillweed% ps | grep foo 3295 ttyp3 0:00 foo andersee@Dillweed% killall foo [1]+ Terminated foo andersee@Dillweed%
This behavior is correct. For kernel 2.1.14 though:
andersee@Dillweed% foo & [1] 3295 andersee@Dillweed% ps | grep foo andersee@Dillweed% killall foo foo: process not found andersee@Dillweed%
The point is, if you run a script on 2.1.14, the script does not show up in the process status listing. This is obviously a problem! It seems the kernel adjustments to make scripts run again in 2.1.14 need a bit more work.
