Cacti

yes sure !

ps --no-headers -o etime -p `pidof foo`

but you'll have to parse the output or find the right option to get seconds

The format of /proc/pid/stat is defined in the kernel sources in fs/proc/array.c

That's the problem, if I do what you write cacti doens't run rrdgraph with the lower-limit option, my patch fixes this.

Sorry it's the wrong column in the mysql query

Hi, it's supported by rrdtool, the option --alt-autoscale-max only autoscales the maximum value, so you should set the configured lower limit, see the patch below. Another problem in rrdtool is that the man page says that the default lower limit is 0, but using alt-autoscale-max with no explicit low...

Both problems solved, thanks !

About searching mailing list archives, I'm writing a program for that, it's not yet released nor stable but I could host archives, an example is http://www.floc.net/www_exarch.py?list= ... e=frameset (use old dates, it's not live)
