Fair enough. Did you intend to suggest "ps -F"? While ps remains not-so-well standardized, I know of no version where "ps -Af" details *memory* usage. Parsing can be simplified with such invocations as ps -o pid -o rss -o size -o cmd (which can itself be rewritten in various ways, depending on the flavor of ps involved). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
