Prolly not. Which fields relate to memory usage? I took a look; can't figure it out. Proc files aren't terribly concerned with human readability; they are more meant for tools. Why not just use ps? It's there, it works, it's reasonably friendly, it has a man page. :) Pete _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
