I have set top running on virtual terminal 2. I previously ran it in konsole, but I guess as that's a GUI app it might not show me what's happening to the system.

The same goes for the widgets that show CPU and disk activity, unfortunately :-(
So even though gkrellm shows the increased number of processes, the lack of information on CPU usage, memory, swap etc is unreliable?
As you say, its running under konsole, the GUI, and if the GUI is affected then so are its children & spawned processes, or at very least the ability of the GUI display to keep up with them. What's frozen? Running 'top' on a vt, outside the GUI, avoids the whole issue. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
