Re: 'ticks' in kernel.

[Jan Knepper]

Well, I guess since I have not heard any brilliant solutions. 
Could/should I add a query for 'ticks' to sysctl?

Thanks!

How would they return me the 'value' of 'ticks'?

The problem is... I have a value's somewhere that has been assigned 
from 'ticks', like:
ptr -> value   = ticks;
  


Maybe it would help to explain what you are doing at a higher level?
It seems odd that you need to do anything like this at all...
 

Well, what I started doing is patching 'netstat' with the idea that I 
can display:
-   Time a TCP connection was setup.
-   Age of a TCP connection.
the 'tcpcb' seems to have a member 't_starttime' which could be used 
for this. However, t_starttime is being initialized from 'ticks'. So 
to get an result that would make sense to a user I would have to do 
something like:

const time_t      boottime;
time_t               tcptime;
tcptime = boottime + ( ticks - tcpcb -> t_starttime ) / FACTOR;

The missing part... 'ticks'...

Thanks!
