The same system has been running all day (no reboots, etc.)
The ps command now works fine - no question marks.
Bewildering.....

Subject: question marks in output from ps command
Hi All,
Running a DS20, Tru64 5.1A, no Patch Kits.
I issue the ps command and get:
# ps
PID TTY S TIME CMD
1633 console ???+ ?? /usr/sbin/getty console console vt100
2172 pts/1 ???+ ?? -ksh (ksh)
2173 pts/2 ???+ ?? -ksh (ksh)
2174 pts/3 ???+ ?? -ksh (ksh)
490132 pts/5 ???+ ?? -ksh (ksh)
63183 pts/7 ??? ?? ksh
67142 pts/7 ???+ ?? ps
I do a more elaborate ps and get:
# ps -o time,state,psxpri,pgid,pid,command
TIME S PPR PGID PID COMMAND
?? ???+ ? 1633 1633 /usr/sbin/getty console console vt100
?? ???+ ? 2172 2172 -ksh (ksh)
?? ???+ ? 2173 2173 -ksh (ksh)
?? ???+ ? 2174 2174 -ksh (ksh)
?? ???+ ? 490132 490132 -ksh (ksh)
?? ??? ? 63183 63183 ksh
?? ???+ ? 65084 65084 ps -o time,state,psxpri,pgid,pid,command
Any idea(s) what all the question marks (?? and ???) indicate???
Thanks!
Jim
