using cacti's scripting ability you actually may be able to get some
sort of usefull info.  for example, you can use "ps auxwl" to get some
pretty detailed info on process which are in jails (third filed is
%CPU, fourth %MEM).  it may take a little work to sort out which jail
a process resides in - .  this method will only work from the master
as well.  similar tricks can be used inside a jail as well.
