In 2.6.1 (and earlier) ps does not report the process start times correctly. (Either procps 2.0.18 or 3.1.15). The problem shows when uptime is large enough, now it is 14 days. After bootup ps showed the right time. For example, I started this bash process really at 21:24 (date showed 21:24 then): kaukasoi 22108 0.0 0.2 4452 1532 pts/4 R 21:28 0:00 /bin/bash Here is a line from w: kaukasoi pts/4 - 9:24pm 0.00s 0.06s 0.00s w BTW, is it normal that all the time stamps at the proc directory are not the same? elektroni kaukasoi ~ > ls -l /proc/22108 total 0 -r-------- 1 kaukasoi fys 0 Jan 23 21:27 auxv -r--r--r-- 1 kaukasoi fys 0 Jan 23 21:24 cmdline lrwxrwxrwx 1 kaukasoi fys 0 Jan 23 21:27 cwd -> /home/kaukasoi -r-------- 1 kaukasoi fys 0 Jan 23 21:24 environ lrwxrwxrwx 1 kaukasoi fys 0 Jan 23 21:27 exe -> /bin/bash dr-x------ 2 kaukasoi fys 0 Jan 23 21:24 fd -r--r--r-- 1 kaukasoi fys 0 Jan 23 21:27 maps -rw------- 1 kaukasoi fys 0 Jan 23 21:27 mem -r--r--r-- 1 kaukasoi fys 0 Jan 23 21:27 mounts lrwxrwxrwx 1 kaukasoi fys 0 Jan 23 21:27 root -> / -r--r--r-- 1 kaukasoi fys 0 Jan 23 21:24 stat -r--r--r-- 1 kaukasoi fys 0 Jan 23 21:27 statm -r--r--r-- 1 kaukasoi fys 0 Jan 23 21:24 status dr-xr-xr-x 3 kaukasoi fys 0 Jan 23 21:27 task -r--r--r-- 1 kaukasoi fys 0 Jan 23 21:27 wchan elektroni kaukasoi ~ > - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
