get parent process from ps

Posted on July 15, 2008 by Kyle Crawford

While booted from NetRestore I couldn’t figure out what was launching Terminal.app. Finally found the script that was launching it using an option the ps to show the parent process.

Simple, but useful.

ps auxww -o ppid

It was rc.install.
