ps tree view : POSIX95

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

I once saw someone use export a shell ENV
POSIX95 and get a real nice linux style
ps tree
Can anyone remind me of the syntax

Thanks,
Bill

Bill,

Wouldn't it be UNIX95 instead of POSIX95 environment variable ?

If so, there have been many threads on the subject, and I found a lot of them in the "search forum" with keywords "UNIX95 ps".

Here is one of them, with an excellent script:

Best regards.

try:

UNIX95=1 ps -H -e

on the same train of questioning..points
are still available!

Are there any other interesting features
possible with UNIX95?

Also are there any other useful ENV vars
that can make life easier? where can I
find a defined list?

I have heard a long time ago that for the Japanese you can export the current Emporer..
is that true?

Later,
Bill

Bill,
For other intersting features, you have to see the individual man pages. e.g. 'man ps' and look for XPG or UNIX95.

Another nice feature of UNIX95 ps i like is the 'C cmd' option, which saves you doing a grep to find a cmd.

For some other interesting env variables see 'man environ'.
