The command ps -eaf gives inconsistent result when executed on XYZ server (the command shows 1, 2 or 3 instances of the process. Ideally it should show only 1). I have attached the script file that was executed and the corresponding output. When the same script was executed on ABC server it gave the desired result.
XYZ : Is a VM instance running Linux (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga))
ABC : Physical server running Linux (Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 7))
I would like to know that XYZ being a VM instance are there any environmental settings or issues which might result in such a behavior? Any inputs on this are appreciated.
Thanks!!
