informative "ps --info" README update ps: compare more with "ps -C verylongname" #178127 procps-3.1.4 --> procps-3.1.5 ancient (2.x.xx era) data corruption fixed serious hidden-process problem (3.1.3+) fixed w: escape sequence vulnerability fixed procps-3.1.3 --> procps-3.1.4 top: was trashing every "3" in a command name top: when killing a process, the PID was cut at a "3" top: more reliable %CPU update copyright dates (GPL & LGPL require this) RPM generation works now procps-3.1.2 --> procps-3.1.3 uses /proc/*/wchan files when available top: user selection sysctl: add -e for Red Hat 8.0 boot scripts sysctl: the obvious --help, -V, and --version sysctl: some command line error checking w: stdout, not stderr -- thanks to Sander van Malssen procps-3.1.1 --> procps-3.1.2 better RPM generation use C99 features some seLinux fixes now count Inact_laundry as needed #172163 ps: fewer globals ps: hardware-enforced buffer protection ps: 1 kB smaller top: B command added (for bold on/off) top: handle old (and future) config files top: man page tweak top: old sort keys #167249 top: out-of-bounds RT as "RT" top: several times faster top: t command fixed vmstat: -f vmstat: -s w:

vmstat displays IO-wait time instead of bogus "w" can build w/o shared library (set SHARED=0) when IO-wait hidden, count as idle, not as sys pmap command added (like Sun has) do not crash GNU make 3.79 top slightly faster procps-3.0.4 --> procps-3.0.5 top tolerates super-wide displays better (?) RPM generation XConsole and top.desktop removed old build system removed code cleanup pgrep and pkill get "-o" (oldest matching process) had vmstat "bi" and "bo" output interchanged on 2.5.xx fix man page tbl directives top man page cleaned up procps-3.0.3 --> procps-3.0.4 make top go faster Linux 2.2.xx ELF note warning removed only show IO-wait on recent kernels fix top's SMP stats fix top for "dumb" and "vt510" terminals in top, limit the priority values to -99 ... 99 procps-3.0.2 --> procps-3.0.3 more "make install" fixes lib CFLAGS working again top.1 codes fixed bad (int*) cast in top removed top runs faster libproc memory corruption fixed rant moved out of top.1 man page ability to SKIP installing things fixed ps --sort crash procps-3.0.1 --> procps-3.0.2 top defaults to the old layout top defaults to sorting by %CPU fix top for non-SMP 2.2.xx and 2.0.xx new "make install" fixed vmstat -a fixed vmstat compiles with latest gcc-3.x vmstat does 64-bit time procps-3.0.0 --> procps-3.0.1 sysctl handles net/ipv4/conf/eth1.0123/tag (VLAN interface) sysctl handles net.ipv4.conf.eth1/0123.tag (VLAN interface) "ps" is now about 2x faster than in procps-2.x.x "ps -F" now documented w works in KOI8-R locale vmstat documentation update "skill -n blah blah blah" lets you test options simple "make && make install" now procps-2.x.x --> procps-3.0.0 designed to support Linux 2.0 through 2.5.41 and beyond new top, with optional: color, windowing, SMP stats runs faster more "it crashes" bugs fixed top shows IO-wait time vmstat can show active/inactive memory stats real-time info supported in ps correct "ps -o size" and "ps --sort size" new maintainers reduced memory usage for ps allow large PIDs to be specified SELINUX support is just a recompile away the "F" column shrank, so "ps -l" has more command name room 64-bit time reduces the overflow problem support S/390, IA-64 emulator, and user-mode Linux oldps is gone configure script -- use "make -f Makefile.noam" as a backup "w" program better at determining what a user is doing more stable code at http://procps.sf.net/ now (SourceForge) Earlier changes, for those not using Debian already: more stable runs faster -F format option better error reporting in ps for unknown format specifiers BSD's sysctl options -b and -X top displays well on large-memory systems old BSD-style select-by-PID ("ps l$$") 15-character user names ps 'f' ASCII art forest fixed add SIGSYS on i386 top reports real RSS value large-memory systems work minimal ps program for embedded systems (minimal.c) BSD personality process selection fixed support locale (French) with ',' and '.' mixed up pgrep program includes the "kill" and "nice" programs don't chop non-tty ps output at 80 columns
