From: rcopg@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU (Paul Gortmaker) Subject: [INFO] kmem ps suite and pl12A Date: 10 Aug 1993 08:14:20 GMT
To those who still use the kmem ps suite, here are some useful
hints. First, you will have to recompile the package, as a simple "ps -U"
with the old binaries doesn't cut it. Note that with the includes for
libc 4.4.2 (alpha) you will get some warnings about local declarations, but
these seem to have no effect.
As of pl 12 (alpha), uncompressed kernels are no longer supported. I guess
there were too many people with kernels over 640k, as featureism creeps
in. ;-) Hence there is no file /usr/src/linux/tools/system for a "ps -U"
to read. So, in the file ./ps-0.99.11/update_db.c change SYS_PATH to
point to /usr/src/linux/tools/zSystem, make any changes you want to the
makefile, do a make;make install -- reboot with the new kernel (if you
haven't already) and do a "ps -U". Everything (ps, top, free, w, ...)
should work ok.... I hope.
(Note that the location of the system file can be specified on the
command line, hence avoiding the change to SYS_PATH.)
Regards,
Paul
