"rpmverify procps" returns nothing so the package hasn't been messed with.
I don't want to reboot the server -- does any have any suggestions what could be done to get w working again?
What kernel are you running, and which version version of procps are you running?
# uname -r 2.6.9-5.0.5.ELsmp
# rpm -qi procps Name : procps Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 3.2.3 Vendor: CentOS Release : 8.3 Build Date: Sun 01 Jan 2006 05:57:38 GMT Install Date: Thu 06 Apr 2006 17:12:16 BST Build Host: build-i386
I did update a *lot* of packages today I don't know if this could have anything to do with it...
