There seem to be two different ps commands, namely /usr/bin/ps and
/sbin/ps. I have a job running for which /usr/bin/ps gives:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS
peter 6848 93.0 56.2 119M 71M
while /sbin/ps gives:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS
peter 6848 93.0 5629 119M 689
which is obviously in error. I am running DU 3.2C. Has anybody seen
this before or know why there are two different ps commands and why
/sbin/ps gives the wrong value for the real memory resident size of
this particular process? For most cases the output of the two commands
is identical.
