Add option to query only non-kernel processes. (1.76 KB, patch)
2013-08-02 15:39 UTC, Robert Roth 		none Details | Review

Description Robert Roth 2013-08-02 15:39:37 UTC 
Currently there are options to query only users processes,
non-root processes, and all processes, but there's no option to
query all threads except the kernel threads.
Kernel threads usually are not important to users, but users still
might want to see other root processes (with parent other than kthreadd)

Maybe pid=1 should not be excluded?

That is easy to do, but isn't pid=1 a kernel process? As it doesn't have a parent I thought that's also a kernel process (as it should've been started by the kernel, as we don't know who started that)
