I looked around and couldn't find anything similar, and, well, noone on IRC seems to know anything about it. So here goes : 1) does anybody know of such a program ? 2) I looked around in the kernel source and it looks to me that this stuff isn't visible outside of kernel.. So should I just go and change kernel directly or can I still get by with writing a module ? (or maybe even better , just an ordinary program ? ) I would appreciate very much any pointers (and especially commentary) on the subject..
