Correct me if I wrong, but ps output on different Unix systems cannot be 
exactly identical anyway, the further parsing is applied. Why not just use 
different process table access code instead?

Moreover, security concerns tell us not to trust any external utilities, since 
rootkits typically hijack ps, ls and other system utilities to hide their 
presence.
