It can be done for all servers, by adding the "--no-ps-listing" option 
to the hobbitd_client command in hobbitlaunch.cfg . That should do it
for data from Hobbit clients.

That's interesting, I hadn't thought about that.

If your client reports data from the "top" utility, then a partial
ps-listing also appears in the "cpu" status column. This cannot be
turned off, currently. It sounds as if it might be a good idea to let
the --no-ps-listing option block this ps listing as well, although the
"top" display (at least on Linux - not sure about other platforms) only
shows the basic command, not commandline options.
