20This is BETA software; it seems to work, but use at your own risk :)
21
22Currently works on darwin, nonstop-ux, Windows (both native MSWin32 and Cygwin), linux,
23solaris, aix, hpux, freebsd, irix, dec_osf, bsdi, netbsd, unixware 7.x,
24SunOS and openbsd. Please see the "README.osname" files for details on

42DESCRIPTION
43===========
44This module is a first crack at providing a consistent interface to
45Unix (and maybe other multitasking OS's) process table information.
46The impetus for this came about with my frustration at having to parse
47the output of various systems' ps commands to check whether specific
48processes were running on different boxes at a larged mixed Unix site.
49The output format of ps was different on each OS, and sometimes
50changed with each new release of an OS. Also, running a ps subprocess
51from within a perl or shell script and parsing the output was not a
52very efficient or aesthetic way to do things.
53
54With this module, you can do things like this:
55
56 # kill memory pigs
57 use Proc::ProcessTable;
58
59 my $t = Proc::ProcessTable->new;
60 foreach my $p ( @{$t->table} ) {
61 if( $p->pctmem > 95 ){
62 $p->kill(9);
63 }
64 }
65
66There is another short example in the file "example.pl" in the
67distribution. For a more elaborate example (in German), see
68<http://www.linux-magazin.de/ausgabe.1999.02/Proc/proc.html>.
69<shameless plug> If you can't read German, try my other module,
70WWW::Babelfish!</shameless plug>
71
72There are also two contributed modules: a module called Proc::Killall
73contributed by Aaron Sherman to kill all processes whose command-lines
74match a given pattern, and a module called Proc::Killfam by Stephen
75Lidie to kill a list of processes and their children. These modules
76are installed along with Proc::ProcessTable. Pod documentation is
77included in both of them.

80INSTALLATION
81============
82This module needs the File::Find and Storable modules in order to
83work. File::Find is generally included with perl distributions;
84Storable is available from CPAN.
85
86After unpacking the tar file, do:
87
88 perl Makefile.PL
89 make
90 make test
91 make install
92
93There is embedded POD documentation in ProcessTable.pm and
94Process/Process.pm.

17Blah
18====
19
20o Documentation under AIX is rather cryptic and incomplete. I managed to read
21 the process table using undocumented calls : getproc, getuser, getargs.
22
23 I've read C code from Vic Abell <abe@purdue.edu> in lsof-4.36, Jussi Maki
24 <Jussi.Maki@csc.fi> and Marcel J.E. Mol <marcel@mesa.nl> in monitor-2.1.2
25
26 as well as a usenet news posted by Michael Wojcik <mike@raederle.mfltd.co.uk>
27 (Article: 63164 of comp.unix.aix, Date: 04/04/95)
28
29
30 [lsof is a really nice tool and provides C examples to read low-level
31 structures under nearly any UNIX system on earth. ]
32
33o my port was only tested under the following conditions :
34
35 AIX 4.1.5
36 perl 5.005_02
37
38o I am not a C programming terminator, so consider this as really ALPHA
39 software.
40
41o I wanted this tool to be usable by a non root user. This is why I don't read
42 /dev/kmem unlike Vic and Jussi.
43
44Bugs
45====
46
47o When mapping tty device numbers to names, I get a 'permission denied' message
48 due to the /dev/.SRC-unix directory whose perms are as follows :
49
50 drwxrwx--- 2 root system 512 Aug 12 11:26 .SRC-unix/
51
52 This dir contains only a few unix domain socket files used by IBM's System
53 Resource Controller, so it is of no interest for getting ttynames.
54
55 Maybe we should bind STDERR to /dev/null
56
57o I sometimes get :
58 "Can't access `pctmem' field in class Proc::ProcessTable::Process"
59
60 It comes from the AUTOLOAD function defined in Process.pm. How come we are
61 able to access fields like "pctcpu" but not "pctmem" ? I am puzzled.
62
63 We may chenge the 'croak' statement to a 'warn' but it'd be better if we
64 knew where this error comes from.
65
66o Hidden ones ? I bet there is some ...

36BUGS
37====
38The comments in the code for ps indicate that the cmndline and fname
39values are not to be relied on, since they are modifiable by the
40program itself once it begins execution.
41
42I'd like to provide the following attributes, I just can't figure out
43how:
44sid session id
45majflt major page faults
46minflt minor page faults
47
48The page fault information actually looks like it might be available,
49but it appears not to be. At any rate, the distributed ps doesn't
50provide it. The source for ps contains a bunch of conditionalizations
51on FIXME, which appears not to be defined. I have dropped them, but it
52appears that only if FIXME is defined do you get the page fault
53information, and even then not always.
54
55The sess is actually the address of a session structure. I'd love to
56extract the sid from this structure, but I segv when I try. I didn't
57try too hard, because the ps command also reports session pointer, not
58session ID.
59
60I'd like to provide the following attributes, but the Darwin ps
61documentation makes me believe they're not available:
62exec absolute filename (including path) of executed command

50=======
51
52FreeBSD 5.X not mounting /proc by default. Procfs is vulnerable system and
53its use is not recommended in future. In addition, mapping processes space
54to /proc is not correct (at least, in 7 of 7 my freebsd servers with
55FreeBSD5 installed).
56
57So, I decided to write this code. This module works via the kvm system.

27Thread
28======
29One can enable thread support by adding -DPROCESSTABLE_THREAD to the DEFINE line in Makefile.PL.
30Once this is done, one can invoke Proc::ProcessTable module from multiple threads within the
31same process.
32
33BUGS
34====
35There is an 80-character limit for the cmndline field; this is a
36limitation of the Solaris proc filesystem (at least up to Solaris
372.7). The only way to get at commandlines longer than that is to read
38/dev/kmem, which would be a major pain. Hopefully sun will fix this at
39some point in the future.

27TODO
28====
29From the cred structure available from /proc we could get euid, egid and
30others.
31
32BUGS
33====
34Times for the "time" field are in seconds; this is both
35inconsistent with the linux module (1/100 seconds) and really crude.
