Is there a way to get the data returned by getrusage() for another process?
I also need this functionality, as least insofar as the CPU usage fields are concerned.

Generally, there is no way to get this information for another process, unless it's your child process, and it has terminated, or unless it is for yourself.

The most correct approach is to ask the other process to make the call, and then tell you, simce time is not really accounted for all your threads until you make the call (the BSD getrusage() output is more or less synthetic).
