Recover "ps" command

rated 0 times [ 68] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 74222 / 3 Years ago, wed, august 18, 2021, 4:29:10

I found myself in a situation where I need to reinstall the ps binary. I accidentally copied the binary to another location and immediately deleted it. The binary is no longer in the bin directory.

I have attempted to reinstall the coreutils package in Ubuntu, but ps was not reinstalled; is there another package where ps comes from?

Using dpkg -S /bin/ps will tell you that this program is in the procps package. Reinstall it using apt-get install --reinstall procps.
