On my system I have a link (/bin/ps) which points to /SYS/HPBIN/PS.  To
be honest I'm not sure if I ended up creating it, or if it "appeared" somewhere
along the way.  If you have /SYS/HPBIN/ in your path (type 'set' and look at the
PATH variable), then you should be able to type PS (uppercase) to get to it
directly.  I do not have it in my path since I seem to have the lowercase compatriots
in the /bin directory :)

Fellow Listers,

I've been following the latest thread about PINs and PIDs and while trying
the suggested solutions I stumbled upon the following:
