    I think it would be *great* to import any and all of the Solaris
    proc tools into FreeBSD. I tend to think of these utilities as
    ps(1), fstat(1), and friends done the proper Unix way (with lots
    of simple tools that can be combined for powerful effect.)
    For those who haven't seen the rest of the tools, take a look at:
