Yeah, that's ok.  Last time i've been checking, the .db file has been

Hmmmm.  It's been there on my last fixit floppy.  Anyway, ps(1) is
something useful.  I'd go for a cut-down version, based on procfs.
It's hard to figure out which process to kill if you cannot get a list
of them. :)

The current approach for the fixit floppy seems to be fine for me!
