First of all, "ps -aux" isn't correct usage. It is accepted only as long as you don't have a username "x". Try "ps aux" instead. (good versions of ps will print a warning -- use Debian)
Second of all, if you want a really fast ps, look here: http://lwn.net/2000/0420/a/atomicps.html - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
