Each kernel has its own mechanism for this, ranging from trawling kernel memory directly to iterating through /proc/, but I can't off-hand think of an operating system which doesn't provide this functionality. On windows I think you need admin privs even to scan your own processess though. -- Colm MacCárthaigh Public Key: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
