Synopsis
procps bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated procps package that fixes various bugs is now available.
Description
The procps package contains a set of system utilities that provide system
information. The procps package includes ps, free, skill, snice, sysctl,
tload, top, uptime, vmstat, w, and watch.
This updated procps package includes fixes for the following bugs:
- the %CPU value in the top utility was displayed as an integer percentage
value instead of as a floating point percentage value.
- top did not properly honor the settings in the .toprc file. This has been
fixed so that all the settings in the .toprc file are honored.
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated procps package, which resolves
these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
