Hey all,

I'm getting about a hundred more processes reported by ps aux|wc -l versus
the total number of processes in top.  Is this a normal thing?  My
system's been under some heavy load in the past couple days, but it's all
presumably stable now.


ps -aux and top hide different processes by default. Use top -S to
show all system processes, too. This is the same as doing a ps -auxH

Read the manpages of both commands for more information of what all
these options do.
