Hello everyone, here is a question well suited for the c'punks. I'm looking for some kind of utility that will allow script files to be run, to spawn off processes, but will wipe out environment and "ps" info from being read. i.e. imagine that the commands being called must shield their arguments and environment from the "ps" command run on a system. the ideal program would let me run csh scripts but make all the unix commands called (sort, grep, whatever) invisible to other users on my local system.
Hi, There is a program for Linux which sorta does this that was written by a friend of mine. It basicly 'hides' a process such that neither it or any of its children will show up using 'ps'. If you would like more info then contact: ifch151@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu Take care.
