Use 24h timestamps in the ps(1) STARTED column
The previous 12h AM/PM format was perplexing as it didn't follow the locale of the user and was a minor annoyance to FreeBSD users coming from Linux. Additionally, the man page was incorrect about the strftime format. There are three time formats that may be displayed in the STARTED column depending on the age of the process. Below is an example. For a process started at 14:30 on Monday 16 March 2015, the following formats may be used: 14:30 for process < 24h old (24h Timestamp) Mon14 for process > 24h, < 1 week old (Weekday Hour) 16Mar15 for process > 1 week old (Day Month Year) Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D1620 Reviewed by: brd Approved by: trasz
