Not really looking to replace ps, but is there a ps 'alternative'/wrapper tool
Hi,

I am not really wanting to replace ps but I am hoping that someone has written a ps wrapper of some sort that can give it some functionalities. I am looking for one that can maybe do the following:
  1. sort the process from oldest/newest running process
  2. list process that has been started x-time ago, i.e. x-hours/minutes ago. Most especially need this one
  3. list process 'complete' arguments

Maybe there is already one out there?
