Thank you all for your help. I have been trying to to get what Paul suggested to work, however, I keep running into this problem:
warn: Unable to find kernel symbol thread_info_task warn: Kernel not compiled with task_struct info; can't get currently executing task/process/thread name/ids! I am not sure what I need to modify in the kernel in order to get it to work. Any suggestions?
