If you want to track which executable was running which pid at a
specific time, you need to put that information in a log, so you can
associate pid and time with the executable path.

It does seem to me that the implementation should be portable. Then if

Ok, first off, I appreciate your having taken time to respond.
Especially given the bug I had in my suggested patch.
That said... two things I am missing here:
(1) How do I get access to that normal tooling from the shell command
