Hi, I was playing with ps on FreeBSD with kern.ps_showallprocs=0 and I was surprised when I have seen that I may see info about running process, if I know it's ID
The ps(1) utility's manpage says, -a Display information about other users' processes as well as your own. This can be disabled by setting the kern.ps_showallprocs sysctl to zero. It says nothing else about kern.ps_showallprocs. That's all it does (in -STABLE). This is not a bug, but simply a limitation of the (silly) kern.ps_showallprocs feature. -- Crist J.
