+The following is a demonstration of the pidpersec.d script.
+
+
+Here the program is run on an idle system,
+
+ # ./pidpersec.d
+ TIME LASTPID PID/s
+ 2005 Jun 9 22:15:09 3010 0
+ 2005 Jun 9 22:15:10 3010 0

+ 2005 Jun 9 22:15:12 3010 0
+ 2005 Jun 9 22:15:13 3010 0
+ ^C
+
+This shows that there are now new processes being created.
+
+
+
+Now the script is run on a busy system, that is creating many processes
+(which happen to be short-lived),
+
+ # ./pidpersec.d
+ TIME LASTPID PID/s
+ 2005 Jun 9 22:16:30 3051 13
+ 2005 Jun 9 22:16:31 3063 12
+ 2005 Jun 9 22:16:32 3073 10
+ 2005 Jun 9 22:16:33 3084 11
+ 2005 Jun 9 22:16:34 3096 12
+ ^C
+
+Now we can see that there are over 10 new processes created each second.
+The value for lastpid confirms the rates printed.
