Has anyone out there written a "system status" program (like ps) that
presents things in a better format, like (1) process id, (2) state,
(3) user, (4) command, (5) tty, and (6) shows the tree structure of
the selected processes.  I've written a post-processor for ps that
shows the tree structure, but the ps options that I have to use (-xal,
or some such) only list the first 14 or so characters of the command,
and don't list the user name.  Is there a better way, or do I have to
do it myself?

sps (written principally by J. E. Kulp and J. Robert Ward) is a definite
improvement over the obscurity of ps.  It shows the structure of process
relations as well as the nature of their connections, and refers to process
owners by name instead of uid.  It was distributed over net.sources some
months ago, and currently runs at our site under 4.3BSD.
