[Mono-list] Running Mono Performance Counters on Linux

[Timotheus Pokorra]

Hello Mclyn,
some links that might be useful:

https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1772
"You need to specify the instance name of the performance counter.
For process-based counters this is the pid of the process:
  counter.InstanceName = Process.GetCurrentProcess().Id.ToString();"

see also that thread:

http://www.mono-project.com/Release_Notes_Mono_2.0#Performance_Counters_Implementation
"Currently the counters can only be read from the same process, there
is no setup to share across processes."
