Does sysctl on kern.proc work for this? (See the example in the
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. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
