Yeah, and I mean it would be nice to also be able to get a parsed output of ps (parsed into an array). > > If I wish to count all httpd-processes using your lib, dump a list > > of all httpd-pids or simply want to show a "ps ax"-like output that > > is generated by a PHP-script from an array into which you parsed the > > ps- output that would be quite handy from my view. > > Sorry, didn't figure out that paragraph... This is connected to the previous paragraph: It would be nice to be able to get an array with information on running processes or even ob a subset of processes (e.g. all "httpd"-processes). This way you could imagine creating a html-page / xml-page that allows you to monitor all (!) running processes interactively over a webserver. This would just require allowing the parsed ps-output to be passed back to the calling script. Stefan
