one word: permissions

i had issues with db stuff working on web vs. not on shell (or vice
versa) - turns out the mysql.sock file couldn't be read from one but
could from the other.

this would be the first thing i check for the db issues, and the ps
aux issues. perhaps the webuser doesn't have access, or it isn't in
$PATH. try full /bin/ps aux and see if that works.

also perhaps the php.ini settings are different for either one, and
there's a different ini file for shell vs. web.
