Description

The sys-proctable library provides a common interface for gathering process table information on different operating systems. You can determine which processes are running on your system, and details about those processes.

Installation

gem install sys-proctable

On version 1.1.5 or earlier, it may be necessary to specify a platform:

gem install sys-proctable --platform mswin32 # Windows
gem install sys-proctable --platform darwin  # OS X
gem install sys-proctable --platform linux   # Linux
gem install sys-proctable --platform sunos   # Solaris
gem install sys-proctable --platform freebsd # FreeBSD
gem install sys-proctable --platform hpux    # HP-UX

Bundler

On version 1.1.5 or earlier, you may need to configure Bundler to install the proper version of sys-proctable:

bundle config specific_platform true

Otherwise, you may get an error or the code for the wrong OS.

Supported Platforms

• Linux
• FreeBSD
• DragonflyBSD
• OS X (Darwin 10.7 or later)
• MS Windows (Windows 7 or later)
• Solaris (SunOS 2.8 or later)
• AIX (5.3 or later)

Support for HP-UX was dropped in version 1.2. If you still need it, just install version 1.1.5 or earlier.
