If you use unix-like platform (e.g. linux) you can just use 'ps -e -o pid,start_time | grep <pid>'. I'd used procpy to do ps-like stuff in python since it's a wrapper around the same procps library, prehaps it can get the same results as well, w/o having to invoke shell commands: http://code.google.com/p/procpy/ -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
