This issue is in "needs review" but there has been no activity for 7 days. ping @matomo-org/core-reviewers

I'm not sure we can just remove this code, since we added it for a reason and can't test every possible system that might use Matomo. Instead we could provide a DI config option to disable the check, and check for more OSes (that are verified not to need the check), plus a faq that we link to. Thoughts @tsteur ?

I just checked it was added in c076fdb because of #5041

If I understand it right we used to use ps -e and ps -ex which required proc to be there. We are now only using ps x so I reckon we can likely indeed remove it like @avkarenow described as well.

@avkarenow can you confirm ps x works for you and when removing these lines then the archiving still works for you?

Everything works fine on FreeBSD 12.2. I run it once every day without any problem with archiving on two systems.

I reckon it could be good merging this 👍 If there was any regression afterwards then we may need to change it again but wouldn't expect this to regress
