Hello,
ELSA is an Enhanced Linux System Accounting. We propose a solution for managing groups of processes without kernel modifications. We provide a per-job accounting instead of the classical per-process accounting. Work can be split into the following parts :
1. A LSM hook 2. A kernel module 3. A user space daemon 4. Per-process accounting informations (external like BSD-accounting) 5. A user space application
ChangeLog:
In this version we add support for several job for a given process. Until now, a process only belongs to one given job. This is too restrictive. For example, if you want to do accounting for all ssh sessions, you add the main ssh daemon in a job and like that, all connections are added and accounting can be done. The problem occurs if you also want to do accounting inside a session. As the session's pid is already in a job, you can not add it in another job. ELSA 0.4 removes this major problem.
We also submit the fork historic module for reviewing. We hope to integrate it into the -mm tree.
All informations to download and install ELSA 0.4 are available on the ELSA website

Every comments, feedbacks and suggestions are welcome, Best regards,
The ELSA Team.
