Thanks, I've been looking at this since asking the question -- use the
source, Luke, and all that.
What I'd like is for the proccess accounting system to store the context
ID. In that way, for example, with 'lastcomm' (on the host), I would
know in which context a command was run. Does that make sense?
I'm going to look into what it would take to add this functionality to
the kernel and to the acct tools.
Thanks,
robert
