Sorry for the delayed response. I've never heard of top being inaccurate. I imagine it's close enough for my purposes. :) As far as which columns you might be interested in, I guess it depends on exactly what you are running top to see in the first place. The most interesting columns to me are typically the RSS, SHARE, %CPU, and %MEM columns. (I checked the manpage and it does tell what they mean, so I won't elaborate here.) 50% of the times I run top are to kill a run-away netscrape process. :) Regards, Ben -- Ben Logan: ben at wblogan dot net OpenPGP Key KeyID: A1ADD1F0 Success is something I will dress for when I get there, and not until. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
