Good point about using a link.  I was trying to make something that 
would probably also work in Windows. As for the needing of root 
privileges, that's only for those programs you need to be able to 
identify with ps, and only one time for each.

Anyway, it's a response to a specific need, which I don't share, and it 
was my second suggestion, not first.
