Re: How to make as much childs as possible, but not more than 50% of CPU

[Lance_Braswell]

Also, and I'm not saying this is a solution, you can run:

'UNIX95=1 /usr/bin/ps -e -o
pid,ppid,pgid,user,uid,vsz,time,etime,comm,args'

which goes a long way towards being able to parse ps portably on most major
Unix platforms. I can't tell you how much mileage we have gotten out of
this simple step. Just thought it was worth a mention. ;)

You might be able to derive %busy using time, etime, and the load average
though. But the problem you are going to run into is what if your child is
CPU bound? Can't do much about that unless you use something proprietary I
think.

Proc::ProcessTable supports a suprising number of OSes.  Dunno if it
returns the info needed, though.
