This brings up a point I have been meaning to post for a while.  Brians ps 
command works fine on SCO5.0.5 but on SuSE8.2 

ps -eo args | grep dclerk   returns

[dclerk]

This gives me no idea which filePro file or what process table is being run.  
I looked through 'man ps', but I found no other argument that did any better.
