Hi vodz, The "problem" with ps.c was *not* the multiple "-w" but the dash ('-') bb_getopt_ulflags enforces. With your two patches, this one doesn't work anymore: ./busybox ps www Will you extend bb_getopt_ulflags to make the leading dash for short options optional? If not then please fix ps to accept it's options without the '-' (i.e. revert your two patches). TIA, Bernhard
