Well, the header file procstat.h is still missing from the tarball AFAICT so I don't know how many people are using it. Not sure what type of feedback you want, but I've been using it since you posted the link and it works as advertised. I like being able to see the vm map without using procfs. I don't like having a procstat(1) utility along with a ps(1) utility. "procstat" seems short for process status as does "ps". Seems like procstat(1) should be a library with ps(1) the frontend, or ps(1) should be merged with procstat(1). Plus, the name "procstat" sounds an awful lot like a certain part of the body that makes me uncomfortable in my chair. Do you really want to spend the rest of your life asking people to see their procstat output? ;-) But, it works fine and provides access to information that's not readily available by other means. -- Skip _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
