Ah, that did it. But the strange thing is that: ps -eo pcpu,pid,user,args | sort -k 1 -r | head -10 Tells me that top is being run by root and is using 99-100% of one CPU. However, System Monitor does not display top as running. I guess that is because I run System Monitor as a user, not as root. So I ran top as root, then killed it within top. I think this was murder made to look like suicide. In any event, then I ran: ps -eo pcpu,pid,user,args | sort -k 1 -r | head -10 Again, and top was no longer running. And my CPU monitor applet in the gnome-panel dropped back to its normal demure speed. I believe the mystery is solved. The only question is, how did top get started by root in the first place? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
