Proceso is a ruby gem to collect the process information. This is still experimental. See Contributing if you find problem or can improve this gem.
I have developed this project against the following:
- Ruby 2.0
- OSX 10.9.1
- Vagrant - Ubuntu 13.04 (raring) - experimental
gem install proceso
Gemfile
gem 'proceso'
require 'proceso'
irb(main):001:0> process = Proceso::PID.new($$)
=> #<Proceso::PID:0x007f51a5d09208 @pid=13455>
irb(main):002:0> process.running?
=> true
irb(main):003:0> process.resident_size
=> 4794
| METHOD NAME | DESCRIPTION | TYPE |
|---|---|---|
| Proceso.current | Grab current process instance | Proceso::PID object |
| Proceso::PID#running? | Check if process is running or not | Boolean |
| Proceso::PID#command | Grab the process command line and arguments | String |
| Proceso::PID#executable | Grab the path of command name | String |
| Proceso::PID#path | Grab the path of command line | String |
| Proceso::PID#resident_size | Grab current resident size | Integer |
| Proceso::PID#virtual_size | Grab current virtual resident size | Integer |
| Proceso::PID#user_cpu_times | Grab current User CPU ticks | Integer |
| Proceso::PID#system_cpu_times | Grab current System CPU ticks | Integer |
FYI: Linux returns resident and virtual size in kilobytes. OSX shows them in bytes.
psutil and procps helped me to learn more about OS' powerful C libraries (kern_proc, sysctl, task_info, etc).
