also check that some security minded person did not ln or alias the ps that is visible on your path to a hamstrung version, throwing away command line details they may not want you to see.

My admin's last suggestion (I promise) :-

export PS_PERSONALITY=sun
export CMD_ENV=sun

then run the usual SunOS commands "ps -ef | grep ora"

Thanks, but sorry, no - this returns "[oracle]" again:

See if it give you want you require.

try ps auxc

a = all processes on a terminal, including other users
u = display user-oriented format
x = select processes without controlling ttys
c = display true command name

Hi List,

If I run "ps" on Solaris or on SuSE Linux 7.2 I see the Oracle background processes under the command heading containing the SID, eg. "ora_smon_MYSID" or "oracleMYSID (LOCAL=NO)". If I do the same under SuSE Linux 8.2 I just get "[oracle]", no process name and no SID.

I know I can cross-reference process id's with V$PROCESS but it's a lot easier if this information is already in ps. Is there some way to get SuSE 8.2 to behave like 7.2 (or Solaris) in this regard?

Thanks
- Charlotte
