monitoring processes on local machine

[jimbojames5645]

i am writing a page to monitor some scripts that I am running. I want to be able to make sure they are still running. Is there a better way than running a 'ps aux' and capturing the output? Are there any built in php functions to get info about processes running on the local machine?

I don't believe there is. This is probably because PHP is platform agnostic -- it would be hard to build into the language all the different ways to get process info from an OS. It's easy to let the programmer do it in a platform-specific way.
