I expect neither of the BSD-type Debian ports has anything in /proc that's not a pid or self... I have a sneaking suspicion that the Hurd- based Debian port is like that too, but I've never booted Hurd. I'm not gonna speculate on the win32-based port that may or may not actually have come into existance, but I strongly doubt it has (would have) a /proc on the grounds that the win32 kernel doesn't actually have a / to mount things under... And given that even Linux itself is looking to migrate non-PID things from /proc to /sys where sensible, I wouldn't rely on things like /proc/cmdline to be around come Linux 2.8. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 8th year CompSci/Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) Paul.Hampson@Anu.edu.au "No survivors?
