in reply to Working With The Process Table (AIX)

I'm not familiar with AIX, but have you considered writing a "driver" that links to the kernel to pull the information you want directly from the kernel datastructures?

    thenaz,
    I believe the reason ps works is because it has the setgrpid bit set and is reading kernel memory. I am not opposed to doing that myself provided I know what I am doing (which at the moment, I don't).
