Ok.... that's one I'm not gonna forget. I like that command. As well as the vt thing.
I think
Bill Gates is gonna be really mad in about 5 years.
But what are ll these things that are coming up when I use ps ax. Is this everything
that's
running and eating up CPU speed???? I have a list of 30 things that show up with that
command.
Should I kill any of the other processes? Like:
312 ? S 0:00 http
There are 5 lines (312-6) with http. Why does it need 5 of these whatevers.

Ok thanks. I haven't really run into that yet. But I'll try to remember it.

So you can log into more than 6 vts. I guess that makes sense. I think I read that you
can have
a few hundred users on at once. Are these vts treated as separate users? If I sign on
as root 4
times. Does Linux see that as four separate users or as root x 4???? Seems like users
x 4 is
the only way.
