This module is a first crack at providing a consistent interface to
|
|
Unix (and maybe other multitasking OS's) process table information.
|
|
The impetus for this came about with my frustration at having to parse
|
|
the output of various systems' ps commands to check whether specific
|
|
processes were running on different boxes at a larged mixed Unix site.
|
|
The output format of ps was different on each OS, and sometimes
|
|
changed with each new release of an OS. Also, running a ps subprocess
|
|
from within a perl or shell script and parsing the output was not a
|
|
very efficient or aesthetic way to do things.
