I'm confused - and I'll admit that it's been a while since I've been a sys ad. Httpd runs in user space, right? So why am I not seeing system processes at the top of top? Or am I reading this incorrectly? What more can I be looking at to see what in system space is eating the system?
Thanks in advance
Becki, By default, top is sorting by CPU usage. You can change the sort order once you enter top by pressing the letter o. Or letter f will enable/disable columns you wish to view. Letter h will give you a list of options available inside top. You can also choose to view only processes of a certain user by entering top -u (username) -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
