afaik, sometimes you have to create them yourself.  Some programmes
don't have an option to create one.  This can be done easily using a
combination of ps, grep and awk ;)  There's probably a more professional
way of doing it, but I don't know (I'd be interested to hear though ;)

  Best wishes,

I didn't like the play, but I saw it under adverse conditions.  The
curtain was up.
