CentOS 5 Exterprise and PS (Process Permission)

Tags: CentOS 5 Enterprise
Hi,

We have developed software which controls shoutcast processes on the system.
Now the Primary method of server creation is through a CRON job, so the shoutcast server is started as a proper user account.

The GUI (PHP Based) runs "ps -C sc_serv" through exec() to simply locate running servers on the system (not control them) and this normally works fine even know PHP may be running as nobody, apache ect and the shoutcast server as another user for instance "shout".

With CentOS 5 Enterprise, running "ps -C sc_serv" or any other "ps" only returns the processes of the current running user. Now i understand with solaris it is possible to configure this for a user account but am curious if this is also configurable for CentOS 5 Enterprise?
