Gardner,

I've had to work with process data in the past, and you're right, a
module to handle accessing ps data would be quite useful. Just for
fun, I've started writing something to help. All the systems that I
use "ps" on support a "-o format" for extracting specific information,
is this option supported on AIX?[*]

What sort of information do you need from ps? I'll try to work it into
the module's functionality.

I can't promise when it will be ready, but you seem to be rolling your
own solution anyway.

[*] Linux, OS X, and Tru64 (nee DEC Unix nee OSF/1). I don't have
    access to an AIX system right now.
