We may have to go that route, but I am not a script writer (though I may yet
have to become one). Thanks for the advice.

This is a cheap trick, and not necessarily suitable for a hostile
environment, but you could move the program being run, and have the
program instead be a script that logs entrance and exit from the
program, and kicks off the original.

This logging could be done to a remote server, or just to a file.

Small script to assemble usage information from that log file, and you'd
be done.

Just a thought,
