Question then is what kind of PID is listing htop :-? (searching...) Oh, okay :-) Why does htop show lots of apache2 processes by ps aux doesn't? http://serverfault.com/questions/24198/why-does-htop-show-lots-of-apache2-processes-by-ps-aux-doesnt Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
