procage
: when was a Linux process startedWhile ps
will give you a summarized version of when a process
started, it shows less and less precision the older the process is.
It's sometimes useful to know precisely when this happened, especially
for old processes; hence, procage.py
.
Usage: procage.py [-a] PID [PID ...]
If given a -a
argument, procage.py
reports the process's age in
seconds instead of its start time.
This is Linux specific, since it uses Linux's /proc
information.
