I was thinking about it, but worried that it could be too Linux-specific. Nice to here there is closer alternative. I'll look on it. PS: Until it is ported, I've found that `top -m io -o vcsw` could also be useful. The only thing it can't show is in-kernel callout(9) calls. User and kernel processes wakeups still nicely visible there. -- Alexander MotinReceived on Wed Sep 01 2010 - 12:28:08 UTC
