Hi @PraveenPenguin, thank you for your contribution. I have a question about psutil please have a look.

I can see that you are adding psutil as requirement for this utility which is new requirement for Avocado. Unfortunately, right now we don't have a way how to add utils specific requirements. Is it possible for you to do this without psutil ?
PS: Right now we are working on autils project which should merge avocado and avocado-vt utils together and there we should be able to add utils specific requirement. Unfortunately, this project is not prepared yet.

@richtja I tried, but we need to grep or awk in ps command that seems not good way, please suggest if you have anything in mind

@PraveenPenguin it looks like you're after the process name. That should be available under /proc/$PID/comm. Let me know if there's other info you're after.

I understand that, but you can still look through the process entries and compare with the name. It's not a good idea to add such a complex external dependency as mandatory to avocado.utils.*. Especially psutil which needs to be compiled (or have a pre-compiled build).

Hi @PraveenPenguin it looks like this data can be obtained without the psutil library. Please refer to my other comment.
