And what is exactly wrong with /proc running?
I have had procfs turned off, but our content management application
does need to have access to /proc, because in its management of
processess (fastcgi app with custom management of cron processes of its
own) it have not been able to manage them without it. We used
alternative like p5-Proc-ProcessTable, but it did sometimes render our
system unusable, userland unresponsive (although kernel was okey).
Cheers,
Martin
