From: DKhosla AT Compaq DOT com (Khosla, Deepak) Subject: ps, test, /dev/null questions 17 Sep 1997 11:50:36 -0700 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: "'gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com'" Hi, Can anyone answer these for me - I've looked through the docs but no man on ps :-( 1) ps -ef does not return all the jobs on the system. Is there a way I can look at all the jobs and not just the children of my session? 2) test -w Dir returns FALSE even though I can write to the directory DIR 3) I have found through some emails that people use nul: as the equivalent of /dev/null (in Unix). Is that accurate and corect? Is that dcumented anywhere?
