Forum: Cfengine Help Subject: Re: Overriding ps option string in 3? Author: mark Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,19802,19814#msg-19814
Sorry guys, I wish there were a simpler way to get process information,. There isn't. Process information lies in the kernel. Only Linux has a workable /proc (although it was Unix 5 that introduced it). Because every kernel is different, the code to read from the kernel is highly non-portable. As you know, I do not like embedding commands in Cfengine, but sometimes it is the only realistic option for portability. I apologise for the mistakes in setting the codes -- some cut and paste errors in the svn tree, and I did not check the RH3 is so old that the linux kernel did not have threads. I think these issues should be fixed now. M _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
