in facts often i want to access the process table. but i dont want to exec ps and grep and transform the data all the time. there is a gem wich does this in a propper ruby way djberg96/sys-proctable. we already have sys-filesystem in the gemset, so this would be a good addition.

talk talked already a bit with [~ben.ford] at ConfgMgmtCmp about it.

if this is the wrong project, feel free to move it where it fits.

Re: add djberg96/sys-proctable to gemset Hi Robert Waffen facter has a hard dependency on sys-filesystem because it allows us to generate core facts without reinventing the wheel. But I don't think any core facts are missing due to lack of sys-proctable, so I'm going to close this. It's probably best if you create a module to install the gem (using the "puppet_gem" package provider) and any custom facts that rely on the gem.
