show thread as process

You should only go on to show threads if the -H switch

is given to ps.  That's the standard behavior among many

systems.  Only the first linux threads implementation had

'threads' that looked like full processes.

Hi

The behaviour of ps with linuxthreads is different from nptl. A thread
is listed as a process with linuxthreads. With nptl you see only the
real process.
I modified props_scan so it can also work with threads(tasks) by
scanning /proc/<process>/task/*. I also added a config option in ps for
that feature.


Regards
Fabian
