There was a thread about me and my broken ps not long ago... It was a install of a snapshot of about the same time... so my guess is that ps, w, and uptime (as they are the only ones that I heard of) were broken in the beginning of april.. The difference here, however, is that I got the 19990410 snapshot... (april 10) If it can make any difference... I'm seeking through the web interface to the CVS repository, and I'm having fun figuring out what correlation there is between the dates and the programs. I don't think I could do it, but it's fun anyways.. Just happy to say that I builworld / installworld yesterday and rebuilded a new kernel (maybe a make clean in /sys/compile/*/ could do it?), and all this stuff is fixed... and if someone wants to flame me 'cause I give bad advice, go on! This is how we learn (that was sarcasm... sorry... guess I'm bored..) ciao! spidey On Sun, 11 Apr 1999, Jesse wrote: > > Hi, > > I did an install of 3.1-19990408-STABLE on a fresh machine.
