This is only just to satisfy my curiosity.
I have 2 GS80s running 5.1 PK5. They are exactly the same. When logged in
as root on each machine (ksh is root's shell on each), I get different
output from 'ps -ef | grep ora*' One machine returns about 30 processes
that start 'ora' and the other machine returns nothing. It seems one
machine returns anything that starts 'ora', and the other is looking
specifically for a process 'ora*'. Using 'ps -ef | grep ora' will work on
both machines. What's causing the difference in the metacharacter
interpretation?
Thanks,
Rich
