Example: # date ; ps -ef | grep ps | grep -v grep Mon Oct 4 14:53:39 EDT 2004 root 29412 29351 0 14:51 pts/0 00:00:00 ps -ef Notice the two minute difference between now and what the process start time is. Uptime on this box is 48 days, so it is a gradual drift. Any ideas on this? Or has it been fixed since 2.6.8.1? Phil
