Hello Anyone:
I have run into an issue that I have never seen or heard of.
Recently on a specific server I have encountered a random issue that I've not been able to repliate on demand... When I view the processes status of a certain process, the information returned to the screen has a descrepancy. What even puzzles me more is the PID associated with the rouge process with the invalid user name " 1 ", it has NO PPID. Please find my example provided below....
MyID @ Hostname > ps -ef | grep <process_name>
user 2623 2622 0 Aug 22 ? 0:04 <process_name>
MyID 12435 25205 0 17:27:13 pts/1 0:00 grep <process_name>
user 2622 2618 0 Aug 22 ? 0:01 <process_name>
script 1 0 Aug 22 ? 0:01 <process_name>
MyID @ Hostname > which script
/opt/program/bin/script
MyID @ Hostname > uname -a
HP-UX Hostname B.11.23 U 9000/800 2776482277 unlimited-user license
Can anyone please help me in explaining this?
Thank you in advance,
Daniel
