Using the ps command from ucb dir
On a Sun OS system we have, when executing a ps command it displays a third parties applications password. The ps command used is from the ucb dir, but if you use the ps command which resides in the bin dir it doesn't display the password.

Other users need to use the ps command from the ucb directory. So I can't remove it or stop them using it.
Is there anyway that I can configure the system to not show the applications password or is it dependent of the application?

Your replies are much appreciated

What application is showing the password on the process list? It will likely be more easy to alter that than try to hamstring ps. I've seen sqlplus, weblogic and websphere all display this type of behavior, but each can be addressed.

Cheers,

Keith

Could you not simply

alias ps ="/bin/ps"

to force the use of the "ps" that isn't protected by the third party software ?

Or do you have to use the /ucb/ps ?
