AIX client - can someone confirm a "ps" command?

Well, for AIX 5.2, I got this:

$ ps axww -o pid,ppid,user,stat,pri,pcpu,time,pmem,rss,vsz,cmd
Usage: ps [-ANaedfklm] [-n namelist] [-F Format] [-o
specifier[=header],...]
                [-p proclist][-G|-g grouplist] [-t termlist] [-U|-u
userlist] [-c classlist]
Usage: ps [aceglnsuvwxU] [t tty] [processnumber]

I must have done something wrong...

Subject: [hobbit] AIX client - can someone confirm a "ps" command?

I'm modifying the client "ps" command to provide information about
processes CPU- and memory-usage, so that sometime in the (not so
distant) future Hobbit can track these and perhaps warn if a process
becomes a cpu-hog.

I have gotten most of the OS'es that Hobbit supports, but I need someone
with an AIX box to confirm that this "ps" command works, and provides
information about the ressource usage for all processes on the box:

  ps axww -o pid,ppid,user,stat,pri,pcpu,time,pmem,rss,vsz,cmd

This was constructed from an AIX man-page I found on the 'net (and it is
very much like the others). One thing that puzzled me is that AIX
apparently does not support reporting the start-time of a process.
It that really correct ? And if not, what is the keyword for this ?

And while I have the attention of you AIX people out there: If someone
could grab the latest snapshot and build me a Hobbit client for AIX 5.3
I would really appreciate it - I need to install a client on such boxes,
but I would have to get the development tools setup first.


Thanks,
Henrik
