https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=230068 Bug ID: 230068 Summary: ps: processes with non-ASCII characters are hidden from list in "ps auxww" Product: Base System Version: 11.0-RELEASE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: rol@robert-eckardt.de Created attachment 195484 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=195484&action=edit File contains example scripts and output from test-run. A process with non-ASCII character in its name does not show up in the listing by 'ps auxww' (or other variants). At best, it confuses the one who started the process. At worst, unauthorized processes can act on a system without showing up in the process list. For example, start a processes named 'GuterProzess' and 'BöserProzess'. In ps only 'GuterProzess' will appear. (BTW, e.g. lsof lists the other process too.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
