Not sure where you get "process group" from, but 'traditional' groups in processes on Linux is "user groups" of the user running the process. AFAIK, Processes only have a single Parent, and I think your parsing the genealogy seems to be the only way (Don't know how that translates to M$ though). Whether parsing "ps" output or reading the /proc/<pid>/status file is better/faster/more portable, I wouldn't know, it just sounds easier to me. -- +---------//-------------------+ | http://www.bali.ac | | http://niclas.hedhman.org | +------//----------------------+ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
