Hello In order to help recent converts from microsoft, I've been looking into a graphical program to allow process monitoring and manipulation. Does anyone know of a "pretty good" program with GUI that would allow one to monitor performance and effect kill commands to running processes? I downloaded gPS from tucows and I'm in the middle of compile-hell. Should I continue down this path or is there something else out there? TIA & cheers <rant> Why would gtk-devel not be part of gtk sources? Who in their right mind go through all the trouble to compile gtk libraries unless they were "developers" also?

Try ksysguard (KDE). Only monitoring: xosview And of course there is always good old console "top". CU -- Stefan Hundhammer Penguin by conviction. YaST2 Development SuSE Linux AG Nuernberg, Germany

Thanks, I don't use KDE so I guess I should have looked deep in the submenu tree. ksysguard is good enough. Cheers

To compile gPS I've had to download/compile pango,atk and gtk+. No problems. However, gPS configure says that I still need gtk-devel and something else-devel. It is all part of a puzzle where the pieces are everywhere. This is what I call compile hell. Mind you, I'm asking for it. Question: How are the version numbers of gtk+ and gtk-devel related?

I don't know what pango and atk are. I installed gtk-development package from the SuSE 8.2 installation CDs when I built Sylpheed. - -- Jerry Feldman Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/dJz++wA+1cUGHqkRAuPsAJwMraisBR3dXfnCv1iEBKTCTqg7RACeKUHC 1/UemJWZs5CX04U9hkGRL2w= =Ox9F -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

You might try qps. It will allow a user to terminate and kill his own process and it has quite a few configuration options. I don't use Gnome so I'm not sure if it will work in there. I know it does work in KDE and Enlightenment. Jack A.
