Unfortunately, I'm currently having some hosting related trouble...

"ps auxf" would not work, the "-o lwp," is needed because the script
needs to know the PID of the target process, so it has to be the first
column in the output.  When the PID is missing (or moved to some other
column) I'm running into parsing trouble.

Great, then I'll close this bug with the next release which will
happen when my server is online again.  The next reniced version will
also include an option to control OOM killer behaviour via
/proc/$PID/oom_adj

Schlimmer sind die, welche ALLES GROSS SCHREIBEN. Und da gibt's sogar 
PROFESSOREN. Ich musste neulich ein GROSS GESCHRIEBENES SKRIPT über 
Areosolteilchen lesen, au weia!        (Stefan Heimers in dcoul.misc)
