841936 - May need to fix scripts which rely on ps output

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: GonkIntegration, defect)

Description

[Dave Hylands [:dhylands]]

There are several scripts, like b2g-ps, b2g-procrank, profile.sh and probably some more (like some of the update/test tools) which rely on the output of system utilities like ps.

If someone installs busybox onto the phone and the symlinks and stuff are setup, then it's quite possible that a different version of ps would get used.

These scripts should call 'toolbox ps' rather than just ps.

Example of toolbox ps output:

root@android:/ # toolbox ps
USER     PID   PPID  VSIZE  RSS     WCHAN    PC         NAME
root      1     0     480    340   c013bfe4 00008728 S /init
root      2     0     0      0     c00cd9d4 00000000 S kthreadd
root      3     2     0      0     c00b9b70 00000000 S ksoftirqd/0

Example of busybox ps output:

root@android:/ # /data/local/bin/busybox ps                                    
PID   USER     TIME   COMMAND
    1 0          0:01 /init
    2 0          0:00 [kthreadd]
    3 0          0:00 [ksoftirqd/0]
