- Good thinking Batman!
-
- And Uptime could be Suptime() I suppose.
-
- So as to be source compatable with Unix there'd have to be a routine called
- getloadavg() added to the library for the load.. I'm not sure if thet IS a
- standard way to get the uptime.
-
- It would be nice if we could use nlist() to look into the kernel though, it
- should help to get a proper ps etc. working.
-
- It's facinating what you find when you read /proc/MiNT.000.. it's a pity
- it's not MiNT itself!
