The ps command

EPKPhoto — 30 June 2007 - 8:13pm

When using ps with Ubuntu and Debian, the output is organized by the start time of the process. On Fedora, the output defaults to sorting by PID. This approach differs because PIDs eventually wrap around and no longer represent the processes in chronological order.

I finally found that the following ps command on Fedora systems will sort the same as Ubuntu/Debian:

ps -e --sort=start_time
