Thanks again for the reply, Ken. I can live with fuddled process accounting on laptops; they are really me= ant=20 to be workstations, not servers; I'm not (yet) brave enough to run Curren= t on=20 a laptop --4.6 seems enough for me to digest at the moment :-) But, i must tell you, the mere fact that open-source software can run so=20 nearly seamlessly on a laptop is a tribute to all the gnomes of FreeBSD. My hat's off to all of you; but not my 'top" hat; cause it's broken ;-) Tim On Saturday 25 May 2002 11:33 pm, Kenneth Culver wrote: > Well, it can affect process accounting, so sometimes I think certain > processes can take more cpu than they're showing and stuff like that.
