Output from ps is normally good. Try :-

Code:
ps -el|sort -n +9ps -el|sort -n -k10

Depending on your operating system and version, the sort will probably fail on one of these two. Process id is usually in column 3. If this looks totally useless, try getting the column headers and adjusting the column sorted on:-

Code:
ps -el|head -5


I hope that this helps.

cr_verify(3)						     Library Functions Manual						      cr_verify(3)

NAME
cr_verify - verify integrity of crash dump SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
uncompresses and verifies the sizes and checksums of every file in the crash dump identified by crash_cb. flags is a bitmask of zero or more of the following flag values: will not attempt to verify checksums of files in the crash dump if this flag is set. Only sizes will be verified. will write messages to stderr during time-consuming operations (decompressions and checksums) if this flag is set. will write messages to stderr describing any validation problems that are encountered. If this flag is set, should not be called when returns; repeated error messages would result. RETURN VALUE
Returns zero for success. Other possible return values are described in libcrash(5). EXAMPLES
The following call to cr_verify(3) verifies the integrity of the dump. WARNINGS
Because it uncompresses and checksums all files in a dump, can be very time-consuming. If was not specified, the calling application should notify its user before calling that there may be a significant delay. AUTHOR
was developed by HP. SEE ALSO
