Synopsis:

usage: cl_ps [options] machine
     -x                  exclude processes from root/nobody/etc.
     -g                  print group information
     -o outlist          use alternate output fields
     -u userlist         only show jobs from listed users
     -r                  print raw data
     -v                  verbose output
     -V                  really verbose output

Description:
cl_ps connects to the procstatd daemon on a remote machine and requests that the process list be sent back. As this could possibly be used to deny service to other users, only sysadmins should be given access to it (repeatedly pinging the procstatd port may cause a slight increase in the load of the remote machine).

cl_ps is a Perl script which uses the IO::Socket interface to connect to the remote procstatd.

Options:
The -o option is used to select different data to be viewd. By default, all jobs will be shown with their UID, PID, parent PID, state, total memory size, resident memory size, and the command line used for that job. If the -g option is given, then the GID of the user/job will be given also.

The -x option is used to exclude jobs by users: root, nobody, xfs, rpc, and rpcuser.

The -u option can be used to select a set of users to show. Only jobs being run under those usernames will be shown in the list.
