543	547	<p>Here is an example to show how to use ps-watcher to do something not
544	548	really possible from ps: check to see if a <em>port</em> is active. We make
545	549	use of lsof to check port 3333 and the $PROLOG make sure it runs.</p>

608	612	<p>See also <em>ps(1)</em> and <em>syslogd(8)</em>.</p>
609	613	<p>Another cool program doing ps-like things is <code>xps</code>. Well okay, it's
610	614	another program I distributed. It shows the process tree dynamically
611		updated using X Motif and tries to display the output ``attractively''
	615	updated using X Motif and tries to display the output "attractively"
612	616	but fast. You can the find the homepage at
613	617	<a href="http://motif-pstree.sourceforge.net">http://motif-pstree.sourceforge.net</a> and it download via
