Installation

gem install proceso

Gemfile

gem 'proceso'

Usage

require 'proceso'

irb(main):001:0> process = Proceso::PID.new($$)
=> #<Proceso::PID:0x007f51a5d09208 @pid=13455>

irb(main):002:0> process.running?
=> true

irb(main):003:0> process.resident_size
=> 4794

List of Proceso methods

METHOD NAME DESCRIPTION TYPE
Proceso.current Grab current process instance Proceso::PID object
Proceso::PID#running? Check if process is running or not Boolean
Proceso::PID#command Grab the process command line and arguments String
Proceso::PID#executable Grab the path of command name String
Proceso::PID#path Grab the path of command line String
Proceso::PID#resident_size Grab current resident size Integer
Proceso::PID#virtual_size Grab current virtual resident size Integer

Proceso::PID#system_cpu_times Grab current System CPU ticks Integer

FYI: Linux returns resident and virtual size in kilobytes. OSX shows them in bytes.
