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? <!rant>

Try ksysguard (KDE). Only monitoring: xosview And of course there is always good old console "top". CU -- Stefan Hundhammer <sh@suse.de> 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

How about gtop? It does some nice things. -- Kelly L. Fulks Home Account near Huntsville, AL

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 <gaf@blu.org> 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.
