This is a second response to Geoffrey message below. Here is the output from the two operations below. I ran the "cat /proc/<pid>/cmdline" on a sample of the pid's. They tend to repeat as long as the pid sequence does not have holes. ****start of terminal printout***** [user@localhost user]$ chkproc -v PID 5529: not in readdir output PID 5529: not in ps output PID 5532: not in readdir output PID 5532: not in ps output PID 5570: not in readdir output PID 5570: not in ps output PID 5571: not in readdir output PID 5571: not in ps output PID 5572: not in readdir output PID 5572: not in ps output PID 5573: not in readdir output PID 5573: not in ps output PID 5574: not in readdir output PID 5574: not in ps output PID 5575: not in readdir output PID 5575: not in ps output PID 5599: not in readdir output PID 5599: not in ps output PID 5600: not in readdir output PID 5600: not in ps output PID 5601: not in readdir output PID 5601: not in ps output PID 5602: not in readdir output PID 5602: not in ps output PID 5603: not in readdir output PID 5603: not in ps output PID 5604: not in readdir output PID 5604: not in ps output PID 5605: not in readdir output PID 5605: not in ps output PID 5754: not in readdir output PID 5754: not in ps output PID 5787: not in readdir output PID 5787: not in ps output You have 17 process hidden for readdir command You have 17 process hidden for ps command [user@localhost user]$ cat /proc/5529/cmdline nautilus--no-default-window--sm-client-iddefault3[user@localhost user]$ cat /proc/5532/cmdline /usr/libexec/gnome-vfs-daemon--oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID: GNOME_VFS_Daemon_Factory--oaf-ior-fd=29[user@localhost user]$ cat /proc/5570/cmdline nautilus--no-default-window--sm-client-iddefault3[user@localhost user]$ cat /proc/5571/cmdline nautilus--no-default-window--sm-client-iddefault3[user@localhost user]$ cat /proc/5599/cmdline [user@localhost user]$ cat /proc/5574/cmdline <*** a typo ***> nautilus--no-default-window--sm-client-iddefault3[user@localhost user]$ cat /proc/5754/cmdline evolution[user@localhost user]$ cat /proc/5787/cmdline evolution[user@localhost user]$ *****end of terminal printout***** Is that what should be expected??
