Re: [Hyperic-hq-discuss] Get CPU time for process?

[Mark P. <mar...@gm...>]

Thanks, that does help.  I am having a problem now though because it is apparently a lot more difficult to get the PID of a command you run from Java than I realized. I assumed the Process object has it.

I tried using SIGAR's ProcessFinder but it never finds my process, probably because it has ended when I am trying to find it.

Does SIGAR provide a helper class for running command line apps?  I would think that SIGAR could capture the PID and expose it so that you could use its API easier.

Likewise, should I assume that if my process has ended I cannot retrieve its process info anyway?  Maybe this why the *nix time command wraps another command?
