Yes, it is a circular dep for these tests, let us hope it does not spread.

Red on black is not my favourite colour scheme. For me, once in 'top', zPW solves it - revert to white on black, order by CPU% so that init and its children don't dominate the screen, write this to ~/.toprc : unfortunately, some of the contents _look_ like gibberish, e.g. yen and section signs to identify some things, so it is unlikely to be user-editable in a sensible fashion. Might also be amusing if anyone has a lot of CPUs and not many lines in their terms - with 2 or 4 CPUs the CPU activity lines are very informative, so overall I now like it ;) ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early.
