After having done a make world, when I run "w", "ps", etc... all processes shown are in parentheses. Why is this? Example: % ps PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND 425 p1 Ss 0:00.00 (tcsh) 556 p1 R+ 0:00.00 (ps) % ps aux USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND sysadmin 586 0.0 0.2 412 240 p1 R+ - 0:00.00 (ps) root 1 0.0 0.2 496 244 ?? Is - 0:00.00 (init) root 2 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?? DL - 0:00.00 (pagedaemon) root 3 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?? DL - 0:00.00 (vmdaemon) Etc...
