I never said the API wouldn't work on FreeBSD. I said, even though there is no /proc on FreeBSD 5.x, you can always use --disable-proc (or something similar) on 'configure' since BSD does have libkvm. The problem with NSProcessInfo is, that if libkvm does NOT exist, and tries /proc instead, it most likely will fail, because NSProcessInfo tries to open and read file '/proc/<pid>/cmdline' which may well exist on Linux, but does not necessarily exist on other systems. Or if it does, it does not necessarily have the expected information. On a side note regarding NSProcessInfo+load: The arguments passed to kvm_open() differ from what Solaris' kvm_open() expects and kvm_getprocs() doesn't even exist on Solaris. Contrary to what the opening comment states about being compatible. -- Chris -- GMX im TV ... Die Gedanken sind frei ... Schon gesehen?
