Can anyone answer this question: "What is the maximum number of digits allowed
in a PID (or PPID) returned from 'ps'?" Is 4 the maximum? Could the PID (and
PPID) be more than 4 characters? Is this system-specific or system-configurable?
Any help or info will be greatly appreciated. Please respond via e-mail.
Thanks.
