We have an abstraction problem that has never been fixed, that the interface between ps and the kernel is too low level. One of us should probably finish one of the interfaces between the kernel and userland. (Either sysctl or procfs could do the job, and I tend to be biased towards procfs for that purpose, but sysctl has some intriguing possibilities also.) It is one of those loose-ends that bugs us too often :-). -- John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, dyson@freebsd.org | it just makes you look stupid, jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig.
