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!
