Error
Invalid output "12345 foo-bar 33 33 httpd" from the "ps" command.
Error Code
exception.Environment.ps.invalid.output
Suggested Action
Make sure that a POSIX compliant version of "ps" is available in the path of Environment user "delphix" on host "SAMPLESOURCE".

Resolution

This issue is fully resolved in Delphix Engine version 5.2.3.0, and later releases.
