+## Alpine Linux / busybox based distributions
+
+The busybox implementation of ps is lacking needed arguments so a proper ps program needs to be installed.
+For Alpine Linux this can be done with:
+
+`apk --no-cache add procps`
+
 ## Other OSes
 
 **Sanoid** depends on the Perl module Config::IniFiles and will not operate without it. Config::IniFiles may be installed from CPAN, though the project strongly recommends using your distribution's repositories instead.
