A brief description of what I am wanting to do... I want to write a script that records PID's start and stop time I want the script to record an instance of an applications life while incrementing the applications record db... I want to be able to keep track of how often, how long running, and how frequent a command is executed and I am thinking I need to do that by monitoring pid's.
can someone give me a list of manpages that would be helpful for this. Also, is there already a utility for this? -- Michael Steinfeld +=================================+ Is there such a thing as a rhetorical oracle? +=================================+
