- Yes, it's
- Yet Another /Proc PS
- brought to you by Michael K. Johnson, in concert with someone who
- posted the same earlier hack that Ed Carp just re-vamped, and by
- Branko Lancester, who wrote the original /dev/kmem-based ps.
-
- However, this one uses the /proc interface to provide /everything/
- that the kmem-based one did, except that I have not added textual
- namelist searching yet. I think I have removed most of the major
- bugs, and it is available from
- tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/BETA/procps/procps.tar.Z
-
- To get all corect numbers, this may require a kernel patch, but I
- don't remember. If it isn't in .99.1, it will be in 1.0, at any rate.
- If you get this, and find that the WCHAN numbers just don't match up
- to the ones that the kmem-based one fives with the command-line one
- gives withthe 'n' option, please email me, and I will get you the
- patch as soon as I can. Of course, by that time, I may have another
- version ready ;-)
-
- David Engel will be helping me complete a ps suite that does not need
- to be suid or sgid anything to work. All possible utilities that we
- can think of that can be provided through the /proc interface will be
- provided. Well, perhaps that is an overstatement, but you get the
- idea.
-
- Hope someone enjoys this hack! Source only, BTW...
