just gut pman (try pman:start() if you hadn't seen it in action).<br><br>According to <a href="http://www.erlang.org/doc/pdf/pman.pdf">http://www.erlang.org/doc/pdf/pman.pdf</a><br><br>"Reds - number of reductions performed. Gives a rough estimate of the process' work load."

I'm trying to write a process monitor akin to Unix's top(1) for<br>Erlang processes. Is there any way to determine how long a given<br>process spent with the CPU over the last X units of time? The<br>scheduler has to know this, does it expose that information? Does

<br>something like this already exist that I'm missing?<br><br>erlang:process_info/1 returns the following for a given process:<br><br>   [{current_function,{hipe_icode_coordinator,coordinate,4}},<br>    {initial_call,{erlang,apply,2}},

<br>    {status,waiting},<br>    {message_queue_len,0},<br>    {messages,[]},<br>    {links,[]},<br>    {dictionary,[]},<br>    {trap_exit,false},<br>    {error_handler,error_handler},<br>    {priority,normal},<br>    {group_leader,<

0.30.0>},     {heap_size,6765},     {stack_size,6},     {reductions,8193},     {garbage_collection,[{fullsweep_after,65535}]}] Is reductions close to what I want? Will that increment for things other than function calls? Does that matter?
