[padb-devel] Job-wide "top" interface.

[Ashley Pittman]

All,

I've been putting some work into the proc-info option and have come up
with a workable "top" style mode, output of which is shown below.

Up until till now to do this the user had to provide --proc-info
--proc-format=<format> but I'd like to simplify this to a single option
to make it easier to use as I can image it'll be a lot more useful that
the basic --proc-info option.

Does anybody want input as to what the option should be called or what
information is shown by default, the working name/options is
--proc-summary and a standard --proc-format is
"vp=vpid,hostname,pid,vmsize,vmrss,stat.state=S,pcpu=%cpu,name=command".
The format for this is a comma separated list of fields, if a equals is
present the left hand side is used for the key, the right hand side is
shows as the column heading.

As before it's possible to sort by the different fields using
-Oproc-sort-key=<key>, would there any requirement to change the sort
order (ascending/descending) as well?

This code is available as r47 if anybody is interested in running it,
speak quickly however due to the imminent release.

Ashley,
