Sorry for asking on this mailing list.

Can someone please tell me where to find the source
code for the ps command?

Thanks

Fred

Michaels' ftp for procps is at ftp://people.redhat.com/johnsonm/procps/

Right. For international support procps-2.0.7 is the one to choose with
the patch procps-2.0.7-intl.patch.

There has been a bit of a fork actually... sorry.

That one is quite buggy. The parser is broken ("ps -o %p" fails),
you can get a core dump if you get unlucky with the System.map file,
the BSD-style process selection is incorrect... I've fixed about 100
bugs and introduced only a few.

What you really ought to use is the Debian package. That gives you
my source plus a few fixes that I don't have yet. Head over to
www.debian.org and drill down to the "unstable" package. There you
will find a source tarball and a patch file for it.
