That's odd. Artifact of ps? I see it also on a F8 machine. It adds 25 spaces to the line.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/5/30 Jerry Yu <<a href="mailto:jjj863@gmail.com">jjj863@gmail.com</a>>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I redirected 'ps -ef' to a file for some compliance exercise. saw a blank line after init. <br>opened it up in vi and realized the 'blank line' is not a separate line, but a lot of trailing spaces after the init process name. This is on a RHEL5/i386 server.<br>
<br>I know init is special, but didn't notice that it is special in this way. anybody knows why?<br><br> 1 UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD<br> 2 root 1 0 0 Apr18 ? 00:00:02 init [5]<span style="background-color: rgb(51, 255, 51);"> </span><br>
