I had forgot about the pstree command. I don't have a pc command. What
package does it belong too? Here is a snippet of pstree.
├─kdeinit4─┬─firefox─┬─plugin-containe───8*[{plugin-containe}]
│ │ └─25*[{firefox}]
│ ├─firefox───28*[{firefox}]
│ ├─firefox───26*[{firefox}]
That is with three sessions of Firefox running. The only process deeper
than kdeinit is init itself. It seems that Seamonkey and Firefox both
run under kdeinit. It also seems to me that each one has its own process
and run separately. Does that mean this is a kdeinit or Firefox issue?
Am I looking at this correctly?
Thanks.
