An implementation of /proc pseudo-filesystem already exists in hurdextras repository. After skimming through the code it is clear that it needs a lot of rework and tuning. Experiences from GNU/Linux have proven procfs to be a very useful facility in implementing many of the process management tools. So the goal of this project is to rework on the existing procfs on “the Hurd” @@ -21,12 +25,12 @@ so that its not only reliable and robust but also more importantly it is fully c The project thus aims at making the GNU/Linux process management tools like top, sysctl, kill, skill, nice, snice, pgrep, free, tload, uptime, fuser, killall, pidof, pstree, etc., to run out of the box. -==Mentor== - +## Mentor +---- Olaf Buddenhagen -==Project Schedule== - +## Project Schedule +---- 1.
