| |
Hello,
i'm working on software that is archiving utime (and stime and some other stuff too) of processes running in the system for later analysis. I am reading all that data from /proc/[pid]/stat and I have noticed that utime can actually go down on successive read (10 secs later in this case). How is it possible? Is this a bug or I just don't fully understand what utime is?
I have kernel 2.6.30.5 if that matters.
Thanks in advance for help.
