Re: Knowing the actual command invoked... I've run top on tty8 on every machine that I have going here, and have done this for a long time. It's handy for a number of reasons (including being able to kill a wayward process, if it comes to that). I discovered a while back the option to "show the command line" in there. This helps a lot instead of me seeing many, many instances of "kdeinit" and having no clue what they were all for. Now if someone could point me to where I could find out what all those commandline options _mean_, I'd appreciate it! ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde-linux mailing list.
