My apologies, Craig. Forget my prior BS about the --container switch not working under docker. It's fine. [ I'm too embarrassed to explain what I did wrong. ] So we're left with just the --help issue and possibly the following. Under lxc, /proc/uptime is adjusted to reflect the container's proper uptime. That renders TIME_ELAPSED for pid #1 useless as the task start_time is greater than the reported /proc/uptime * hertz. Thus, the <pids> api will always return zero. If the new procps_container_uptime() function were to first check for the above anomaly, it could just return with the existing procps_uptime() seconds instead of zero otherwise. Regards, Jim
