Berkley ps command for HPUX 11i

[Ed Freel]

On Solaris /usr/ucb/bin/ps and AIX ps the Berkley
flag options are available. I'm looking for the "ps e " to print out the environment settings for a process. Is this hidden away somewhere in HP 11i? I also tried to get the environments settings by attaching to the process using gdb but the show env only shows my settings and not the process settings. If there is another way to get this info I would appreciate a pointer. This would help an HP customer know that settings they are passing on to startup command worked.

I think you want; ulimit -a
This shows the environment under which your job starts and which control it size etc.

Command "ps -ef" and "top"

Let me rephrase my command line usage. The Berkely version I am looking for is
"ps ewwl ". This gives you the full environment field listing. I am interested in the environment settings given to the command at startup. Berkley version does not use "-" flag notation.

Hi,

I don't know of any way to get this information in HP-UX, but maybe another guru will have the answer.

We have an old AIX box still running here, so I logged in and tried the command just to see what it looks like. This is pretty cool! I never knew it would do that.

Here is the output just so people will have an idea of what the author is talking about:
