I do dislike /dev/ps mightily. If the problem is that /proc is too large,
|
||
|
|
then the right solution is to just clean up /proc. Which is getting done.
|
||
|
|
And yes, /proc will be larger than /dev/ps, but I still find that
|
||
|
|
preferable to having two incompatible ways to do the same thing.
