Thanks for everyone's suggestions. Unfortunately no luck yet but I think
that's because I'm looking in the wrong place focusing on 'ps' itself. I have
discovered two further things:
1. ps works fine, as expected if I start the instance from the unix user
oracle, but I get this "[oracle]" behaviour if I start it from any other user,
ie. members of the dba group.
2. /proc/<pid>/cmdline is empty if the instance is started by a non-oracle dba
group member.
It looks like the process just isn't being registered properly with the Linux
kernel correctly at start up, so I can't blame ps for not being able to report
on it. Not sure why that is - the suid and guid bits are set ok on the oracle
binary. I guess I'll just have to start the instance as oracle for the time
being.
Any further suggestions welcome.

My admin's last suggestion (I promise) :-
export PS_PERSONALITY=sun
export CMD_ENV=sun
then run the usual SunOS commands "ps -ef | grep ora"

Thanks, but sorry, no - this returns "[oracle]" again:

See if it give you want you require.
try ps auxc
a = all processes on a terminal, including other users
u = display user-oriented format
x = select processes without controlling ttys
c = display true command name

Subject: Linux ps command
Hi List,
If I run "ps" on Solaris or on SuSE Linux 7.2 I see the Oracle background
processes under the command heading containing the SID, eg. "ora_smon_MYSID"
or "oracleMYSID (LOCAL=NO)". If I do the same under SuSE Linux 8.2 I just
get "[oracle]", no process name and no SID.
I know I can cross-reference process id's with V$PROCESS but it's a lot
easier if this information is already in ps. Is there some way to get SuSE
8.2 to behave like 7.2 (or Solaris) in this regard?
Thanks
- Charlotte
