Can't do a "ps -A"? Hyphen does not work???

I am ssh'ed into my temporary Ubuntu 12.04. Why is the hypen key disabled?

The other special characters work fine. This is the free 4 hour trial VPS.

I can use the hyphen character on my local KVM Ubuntu VM just find?

Thanks,

Ray

It could be a language setting thing.

Try:

unset LANG
unset LC_ALL

My 4 hour trial period ran out so I could not try this. Actually couldn't do much of anything!

Strange. I would have tried copying a hyphen from the local machine and pasting it in.
