I have successfully opened /dev/table/proc file and read processes pids and its details from it, but I am unable to have programatic knowledge of how to access process CMD or its corresponding name.

Kindly do guide me out on the said request for which I will be very thankfull.

In libc.a there is the getprocs() subroutine. U can use that for consistent programming instead of reading the file. See procinfo.h for the results.

When you then have the pid of the process u can signal() it. This is for standard programming. If you want to use their code, that is very difficult since you must manipulate memory, lock it if you have permissions, deal with the kernel. That also means in general platform dependent code, and u know exactly what u are doing...

I dont understand what u want to do with the processes, since these are programs in general and have their own entry points and interface.

Thanks for ur reply. But I was unable to find such a resource like 'getprocs()' .I am working on SCO Unix . Kindly provide me an alternative solution for it.
Thanks in advance
