I know I'm a bit offtopic here, but taking in example solaris 10 with
it's zones, it's possible to supply
ps with "-Z" command , which will say what zone/container process
belongs to. Would be nice,
to somehow label container processes with container ID in kernel and
have userland (ps for example, or any other tool)
to be able to show this label.

Thanks.
