Hmm. pwait can get the psinfo as of when the process exits, by using poll(2) to wait for the process to exit; the way I read proc(4) suggests that should work on /proc/*/usage (or /proc/*/lusage if LWP-level detail is desired) as well. > > > > Other wishlist thoughts: > > > > * option for LWP-level detail > > * option to report all the info in struct prusage, > not just times. > > The scope of this request can be found in the PSARC > case: > http://opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/caselog/2007/5 > 98/.

Certainly I don't want to slow down one thing getting added by piling on a bunch more; was just looking for a reaction. If you want this on some other list, please CC whichever you think most appropriate (discuss, rfc, code, whatever...). I have a few thoughts on how the things I mentioned might look; if I find some time, I might just try my hand at some code along those lines. In particular, I see the default format for additional usage info being modelled on the rusage(1b) output, since that's already familiar, and prusage contains equivalents to all but the last four fields reported by rusage, at least two of which are apparently no longer useful anyway.
