The most recent version tries to resolve the pid with pidof, netstat, then ps. The only issue I'm aware of at the moment for arm on BSD/OSX is that their versions of netstat are different from Linux so the connections page won't show you anything. Someone's suggested using lsof as a fallback (it's supposed to be more portable), which I'll look into at some point. Cheers! -Damian
