This issue has not cropped up for a long time. The ps command has been relatively stable for a long time, but it is very non-portable. Reading /proc is useless unfortunately as it is only really an option for Linux (although svr5/solaris supports some things), the same with reading from the kernel itself - that is why ps is used to get the results. I'm not keen on libproc, as it just introduces a dependence on something unknown for little value, and as Eystein mentions, portability is a non-trivial issue. If you haven't registered the issue in the bug tracker, please do so, and by all means suggest different ps options. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
