you will probably want to
a) opt into a CPAN style solution such as
http://search.cpan.org/search?module=Proc::ProcessTable
b) roll your own module of some sort....
amongst the tricks I have had fun with were things like
http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/Sys/psTree.txt
and
http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/Sys/psGrovellor.txt
or
http://www.wetware.com/drieux/CS/Proj/PID/
You will forgive my limited options, I have access to only
linux, darwin and solaris in the house....
c) you may also want to think about what You REALLY want out
of the process table - and start understanding what the command
line options for 'ps' on AIX are that you really find useful.
many allow for
ps -p $pid
to get information about a given process id that you want to
verify, some of them have implemented various 'output' ordering
formats - which you can find useful....
some versions have
ps -t $tty
that allow you to get all process id information based upon
terminal.... so you may want to sort through
"so what were the filters I have used on this...."
as well as whether you need to make your solution 'portable
for all unix variants' - or local to your specific brand....
