good idea VJC, in fact "poste de sécurité" is mentioned elsewhere, so that is probably it (kicking myself now)
poste de surveillance ?

no present in ps

ps is a Unix command for determining what processes are currently running. If the system is checking to see whether a certain process is running, this could be referring to the ps command.

Would need more text to know for sure. However, I would think it doesn't refer to "poste de..." because "poste" is feminine.

Just my 3 cents.

make that *not* present.
Note from asker:
Thanks for your reply, although I am doubtful, particularly as poste in this contexte is masculine.
Something went wrong...
