Type 'man top' and 'man grep' for those manpages.How did you know that your processes were getting big if you didn't use top? On second thoughts, don't answer that. The mod_perl list is relatively tolerant of off-topic posts, but not of laziness. Please don't ask general OS questions here as an alternative to learning about your operating system.
Did I really need to be criticised for asking? Now that I know to use "top", then of course I can RTFM to learn more. But I didn't know about "top" - I've been trying to get this information with "ps" (which I have learned). So I asked my harmless (or so I thought) question. Now I know.
Thank you so very much for your kind help Ged.
