Re: pgmonitor on solaris - Mailing list pgsql-interfaces

Thank You
I´m using old solaris 2.5.1
I download pgmonitor 0.27 tryed again, and:

$ ./pgmonitor
Can't run 'ps': awk: syntax error near line 3
awk: illegal statement near line 3
awk: illegal statement near line 4
Please send in a patch.
$

As sugested by Peter Eisentraut I changed all /bin/ps to /usr/ucb/ps and 
the error is now:

$ ./pgm-ucb
Can't run 'ps': child process exited abnormally
Please send in a patch.
$

I tryed /usr/ucb/ps with the following args:

/usr/ucb/ps auww - OK -also show PID´s
/usr/ucb/ps p - There is no p args
/usr/ucb/ps U postgres- The U arg does not accept the name of user, looks 
like it is not for display postgres (user) process.

Synce I will move the PostgreSQL to a dual PIII linux server and, I think, 
pgmonitor will work OK on linux, it is not an emergency, but I would like 
to see pgmonitor working in my old Solaris.

Do you think it will work in newer Solaris versions?

Thank you

ROberto
