SIM / SPRI Bad Syntax Perhaps Bogus Bug
Newer versions of the system ps command can give the following error while running SIM or SPRI.
Warning: bad syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See /usr/share/doc/procps-3.2.3/FAQ
To fix make the following changes.
SIM:
Change /usr/local/sim/sim:
ps -auxww | grep -v $IGNORE >> $PS_CACHE
To:
ps auxww | grep -v $IGNORE >> $PS_CACHE
Removed the '-' in front of auxww. This occurs on or about line #143 in SIM 2.5-3.
SPRI:
Change /usr/local/spri/spri:
ps -auxww > $TF
To:
ps auxww > $TF
Removed the '-' in front of auxww. This occurs on or about line #56 in SPRI 0.5.
