why doesn't ps -e work?

The help viewer entry for the ps command shows a number of QNX
extensions, -e for one. Yet when I try this, it tells me such an option
is not available. I searched the system for different versions of ps,
but they all appear to not support these documented QNX extensions. I’m
using the NC version. What, BTW, is the difference between the NC
version and the commercial version? I’m using the NC version right now
to do a proof of concept, with hopes that once it works, I’ll go to my
boss, and get him to buy the real thing.

Use of a “-” is deprecated on Unix BSD. Perhaps it’s the same stuff with
QNX. Have you tried a ps a for example? :slight_smile:

Well, the big difference is that the NC version doesn’t cost anything.
But, the licensing (what you’re allowed to do) is different.
The intention is that if you get a project approved, you will then
buy development seats & pay licenses for the runtime (once doing
commercial work), but that you can learn & prototype on the NC version.

So, essentially, you’re using exactly how we’d like to see it used.
