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



>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.

Thanks for the link.. but I encountered the same result, it didn't return the CPU usage (just zeros), so I wonder if it suffers from the same "can't get stats from a running process" limitation as getrusage(). I pulled it into gdb and looked at the extern_proc p_rtime and p_cputicks fields. (Heck, I showed the whole struct and every time-like field was empty except __p_starttime.)




I think this is an OS bug. Please file a radar bug about this issue, as an external need carries more weight.
