An extreme case could also be that the ps tool is not installed on
the computer.
Then the system is not Mac OS X.
Would you also consider than when grep is not installed, it's not Mac
OS X? The fact is that it was not part of the standard install before
10.3.
An admin may choose to remove ps from the standard location.
Anyway, the main problem IMHO is that OS X/Darwin is lacking either a
true and trustful API to get this information or a proc folder (even
though I think I saw such a folder in one case (maybe it was on OS X
Server)).
There is no such interface because the information you want cannot be
reliably returned; an interface that returns wrong information is
worse than no interface at all.
Well, in that case, Windows is better than OS X :-)
