Yes, but what order? I played with that problem for ages. Perhaps I
just didn't find the right combination.
How about recording the order of creation and do it in opposite order?
We could add a field to the process struct to record that. (Since PIDs
can wrap, they can't be relied upon for this).
I would never suggest keeping a process creation date for something
trivial, but since you seem to be proposing one for something major, the
process creation date could be available in the readdir of the /proc
directory. Assuming you intend to keep date at all and not just some
counter, of course.
