This what I thought.
I had an inquiry/ feature request about how to do this for my JavaUnix project.
Looks pretty easy on LINUX. Damn if I know how to do on Solaris tho.
You said some directories in /proc/<pid>/* are in accessible, ok just try it.
I could also default to `/usr/sbin/ps -afe' or `/usr/sbin/ps auuwx' !!!!!
Not.

There's no standard solution - not surprising, given this data's tight
coupling with the kernel. Various Unix vendors have introduced their
own system calls or relied on rooting through /dev/kmem (with an
understanding of kernel data structures and symbol addresses) to gather
this information. The /proc filesystem is one of the cleanest
solutions around.
Unfortunately, it's not standard either. I've seen it on another Unix
(Solaris, I think), but it offered much less than Linux's /proc.
There's also a move afoot to create XML-formatted versions of the
various /proc files, which will make parsing of the information much
less fragile.
