   const char* os name = ??? //Should return Linux
   const char* architecture = ??? //Should return AMD or RHEL or relevant architecture
   const char* version = ??? //Should return RHEL 4.1 or 5.3 etc
   const char* powner = ??? //Should return the name of the owner (of the parent pid).

Thank you. That helped. Just one thing left out from the list above though. The process owner's name. How do I get that?
