[Solved] command "ps -ef" need procfs - how can i install this?

Hi, i'm new to FreeNAS and FreeBSD.

I would like to see the process like with ps -ef from Linux.

The command on FreeNAS 8 need procfs.

How can i install procfs, or is there any other command that can do the same than ps -ef?

Thanks

What column(s) of information from -ef are you interested in? PPID? or something else?

I'm trying to compare the output and PPID is the only thing I can notice that's missing.

Do you have a similar command than ps?

Trying to compare the output with what?

With my Linux (Ubuntu) system.

The only difference I could notice was the column PPID. What info is missing on FreeNAS?


If you need to mount procfs you can add the following to /etc/fstab (which will be non-persistent):

proc /proc procfs rw,noauto 0 0

 

[djoole]

Here is my output :

Code:

The problem is not about missing columns (although PPID is interesting), it's the fact that it doesn't display all the processes

What do i have to do after adding this to fstab?

 

[ProtoSD]

Sorry about that, any time you update /etc/fstab (add a mountpoint), do 'mount -a'.

You probably want to add -ax if you want to see more processes.

ps -ax it is :)

Thanks a lot, i never had the idea of looking at the options. Always used -ef so far :)
