I use hp HP-UX.
I want to get vsz of the process .
What is the syntax ...

/run>ps -help
ps: illegal option -- h
ps: option requires an argument -- p
usage: ps [-edaxzflP] [-u ulist] [-g glist] [-p plist] [-t tlist] [-R prmgroup] [-Z psetidlist]

You need to tell the shell you want UNIX95 syntax:

UNIX95= ps -efo vsz,ruser,pid,ppid,args...

Hi,
"-o" option is not support . Please advice other :

/run>ps -eo vsz
ps: illegal option -- o
usage: ps [-edaxzflP] [-u ulist] [-g glist] [-p plist] [-t tlist] [-R prmgroup] [-Z psetidlist]
/run>uname -a

To use the XPG4 version of "ps" in HP-UX you need to precede the command with "UNIX95= ". The space after the equals sign is important.

UNIX95= ps -eo vsz
