Arguably, yes, and Jonathan Chambers has provided some patches to
enhance the Process class in this fashion.  I don't know how that's
going though...

What exactly do you want to know about UnixProcess?  It's a
System.Diagnostics.Process-like wrapper over the near-equivalent POSIX
system calls, and exhibits some of the limitations of POSIX as well
(e.g. you can't list all processes on the system, you can't wait on an
arbitrary process, only child processes, etc.).

Do you have any specific questions about it that aren't answered by the
documentation?

Thanks,
