From a quick look, it does not seem to have a user entry in the stats... A quick and dirty way would be to put a "script-in-the-middle" that would have a name specific to a given user, and then parse the stats by filtering on that script name... compute_$USER1, or compute_$UID... The user runs its dedicated script, and then the script runs the real command... You could add aliases in bashrc that points the generic commands to the specific ones... JD
