Secondly, you can comma seperate the -o arguments for brevity, so: ps -awwx -o pid,user,emul,lstart,lockname,stat,command will be your command. You forgot to mention what language your CGI will be in, so I'll just give you the simplest algorithm: - read the first line - record position of the first character after a space character, by simply walking the line char by char - Using those positional numbers it is now trivial to extract the information from the rest of the lines. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part.
