I've just confirmed, that your patch (once I add the corresponding "-o" options) allows me to recreate the main functionality of my script with the single command "ps -D'^' -p .... " which is brilliant! - You guessed at my use case before I told you!

Oh! I should have checked the new patch more closely before posting. I see you've added an ascending option!

Your decision is fine to me, but as I mentioned in the email, if your change has been live (in current at least) for a few years, maybe it would cause more problems now to revert it? Especially as the option you chose initially does indeed imply "descendency"

Ahh... So this is why my locale setting is no longer passed through between boxes.

LGTM

I reported on this deprecated element core dumping ( https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=237368 )

Thanks for the quick reply - I don't know if you saw my edit, but for some stupid reason I missed your previous reply when I replied.

Steal space from RES and SIZE; incrase username

I can't stress how much I hated this. It's 2018, can we do something smarter than assuming the terminal has a fixed width of 80 characters instead of squeezing space unconditionally?
