ps always reports a failure exit code even in cases it should succeed due to hitting this ps: time: requires entitlement error.

Additional context

Looks to be caused by a missing compilation option? https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/adv_cmds/blob/cdf02e0cae3e27f8dae7acab14d87daa962eda1f/ps/keyword.c#L391

I think this is one of those things we package even though it’s useless because we can’t sign it with entitlements. We should probably just not package it.

Isn’t ps required by CMake?

[emilytrau]

It works but some columns will fail and cause the entitlement error. It's used by gradle as well.
