Hi,

Is the data in /proc/pid/status is related to all the threads of the process pid. Does the data even include the resource consumption by the processes which the process with pid contacted through rpc mechansims..

Please comment. Thnaks....

That depends on your OS, since on Linux threads have their own PID which seems not to be the case is most other unices.

I can hardly imagine that possible at all. Would it make sense?

Actually, in the 2.4 kernel, each thread had its own process/pid, but in 2.6 they (threads) are all in the one process, so only 1 pid appears.
