Well, I must say that my procps comes from a Debian 1.3.1, and since then obviously it has gone better. > It's amazingly powerful and flexable. IMHO, is amazingly bloated. Currently, new versions of procps are cleaner, faster, etc... but much of the bloat remains. The cause is not procps, nor Albert, but the compatibility with all flavors of ps out there: BSD, SysV, etc... > It looks like you were using the BSD flavor of args. Yes, is a question of habits (bad ones, I suppose). I have been using Linux since 1994 or so, and I've always used BSD flavor of ps. > ps. The only thing that competes with ls for number of options.
