Re:Non-priv way to collect job stats under Intel?

Ideally, given a pid, I'd like an API returning the following ps values in a struct:

%cpu %mem command lim lstart nice ppid pri sl state time uid xstat

To solve my immediate problem, I'd settle for

lstart state time xstat


Does sysctl on kern.proc work for this? (See the example in the sysctl 3 man page.)

I grabbed some source described here:
http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200205/sysctl-netbsd.html

I had to change some "struct proc" declarations to "struct extern_proc", but then it compiles. Running it against my local user didn't correctly sum up my CPU usage, but it did correctly count my processes.
