The same system has been running all day (no reboots, etc.)
The ps command now works fine - no question marks.
Bewildering.....

Subject: question marks in output from ps command
Hi All,
Running a DS20, Tru64 5.1A, no Patch Kits.
I issue the ps command and get:
# ps
   PID TTY      S           TIME CMD
  1633 console  ???+          ?? /usr/sbin/getty console console vt100
  2172 pts/1    ???+          ?? -ksh (ksh)
  2173 pts/2    ???+          ?? -ksh (ksh)
  2174 pts/3    ???+          ?? -ksh (ksh)
490132 pts/5    ???+          ?? -ksh (ksh)
 63183 pts/7    ???           ?? ksh
 67142 pts/7    ???+          ?? ps
I do a more elaborate ps and get:
# ps -o time,state,psxpri,pgid,pid,command
       TIME S    PPR   PGID    PID COMMAND
         ?? ???+ ?     1633   1633 /usr/sbin/getty console console vt100
         ?? ???+ ?     2172   2172 -ksh (ksh)
         ?? ???+ ?     2173   2173 -ksh (ksh)
         ?? ???+ ?     2174   2174 -ksh (ksh)
         ?? ???+ ?   490132 490132 -ksh (ksh)
         ?? ???  ?    63183  63183 ksh
         ?? ???+ ?    65084  65084 ps -o time,state,psxpri,pgid,pid,command
Any idea(s) what all the question marks (?? and ???) indicate???
Thanks!
Jim
