Hi, Currently we can check and change binary osreldate of another process via procfs(5). Kostik suggested to add a new sysctl for the same purpose and also extend procstat to show osrel. Here are patches I am going to commit if there are no objections or suggestions. http://people.freebsd.org/~trociny/kern_proc_osrel.1.patch http://people.freebsd.org/~trociny/procstat.osrel.1.patch I set the same permissions as for procfs(5) osrel -- so only user can read it, but may be this is too restrictive and p_cansee on read would be ok? I added osrel output to procstat -b option: kopusha:~% procstat -b 2975 PID COMM OSREL PATH 2975 emacs 1000001 /usr/local/bin/emacs-23.3 Would this be ok or someone see a better way? -- Mikolaj Golub
