    just saw this..

    ------------------------
    [craig@craig]# ps -aux
    Warning: bad syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See
    http://procps.sf.net/faq.html
    USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
    root 1 0.2 0.0 2116 464 ? S 01:33 0:05 init [5]
    etc etc...
    ------------------------

    I've used -aux with ps ever since I started to learn about linux (about
    9 years ago with slackware)

    I *have* noticed that it doesn't work too well when I go visit a client
    of mine that has an old sparc running solaris though..

    so what gives? never seen this error in previous versions of RH.. am
    running FC2 on this machine now so is it a new thing with FC2?

    just curious.. always figured the "-" for "options" was a perfectly good
    way to handle things and seems to still be the de-facto on most
    commands.. so why is "ps" so different?
