Hi,

Is there a way to get detail process information?

I would like to get the information from user space
because a user found that SGE (an opensource
distributed batch system) only does accounting for the
parent process in a job on FreeBSD, but he would also
like to get the child processes information.

I looked at the code and found that for other
platforms, SGE calls system specific functions to get
information for all processes running on the system.
Since SGE was recently ported, no one has enabled the
code on FreeBSD yet.

What I am looking for is like /proc/<pid>/stat on
Linux, which gives a lot of information about the
process, including the ppid, gid, sid, child user
time, memory usage, etc.

BTW, the project homepage is:
http://gridengine.sunsource.net

 -Ron
