Alan,

thanks for these new metrics. They look useful, particularly
process.running as a way of monitoring service availability.

I'm currently trying to get PCP2.2.0 ready for open source release,
which should happen early next week sometime. It has already been
released for IRIX. I'll see if I can find time to incorporate your
new metrics, else it'll be in a later release.
