[R] Output from unix PS

[mohan.radhakrishnan at polarisft.com]

My code is not complete. But the headers I see are

USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
68        4517  0.0  0.0  12348   864 ?        S    Aug08   0:00
hald-addon-keyboard: listening on /dev/input/event1
68        4521  0.0  0.0  12348   860 ?        S    Aug08   0:00
hald-addon-keyboard: listening on /dev/input/event0
root      4529  0.0  0.0  10256   704 ?        S    Aug08   1:57
hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/sr0

The last column value doesn't follow any rule.

Thanks,
Mohan

You don't tell us your OS details or provide an actual reproducible
example, but the error suggests that COMMAND is not one of the column
names in your data frame.

Have you checked that? When I run ps on my Fedora system, the column
name is CMD and not COMMAND.
