Suse 9, [kacpid] and display of ps

2008-10-22 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
WHAT DO THE BRACKETS mean? (down below) 

Hello there: 

I have a Suse 9 machine as:
 --
# uname -r
2.6.5-7.97-smp
# cat /etc/issue 

Welcome to SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (i586) - Kernel \r (\l).
 -- 

I am trying to determine if the acpi daemon is running, but all I find is: 

# ps aux|grep acp
root 5  0.0  0.0 00 ?S   Sep22   0:00 [kacpid] 

There is no reference whatsoever to kacpid in /etc/init.d 

Also, WHAT DO THE BRACKETS in [kacpid] mean?
I have always wondered about those brackets and man ps doesn't really 
help... 

Appreciate any help.
Thanks
Enrique

Those are kernel processes/threads.

if it shows up in a PS then its running ;-)

however kacpid is just the type of acpi daemon k probably the KDE
implementation of it if took a guess.

In article [EMAIL PROTECTED] you write:

 however kacpid is just the type of acpi daemon k probably the KDE
 implementation of it if took a guess.

In this case, the k stands for kernel.  It's the kernel ACPI daemon.
