I am working on implementing a GNU/Linux compatible /proc pseudo filesystem. The major goal is to make the /proc available on Hurd, so that procps and psmisc tools like kill, pgrep, pkill, top, killall among other things which depend on /proc run out of the box. I have implemented the important parts of /proc till now and have been able to get pgrep working fine till now (pkill also seems to work, but some testing is needed). I will be working on making more procps tools available. (b) As both antrik and Samuel suggested procfs should be a part of main Hurd tree. Can you please tell me the rules? PS: I'm going to work on the wiki issue today. Also in the meeting yesterday we decided to setup a backup repository for Hurd Wiki. I have taken this responsibility. I have also setup a repository at github.com. I will post the details in a different mail. -- Thanks and regards, Madhusudan.C.S Blogs at: www.madhusudancs.info
