It took a reboot to remove them. Now, today, on another 4.3.3 box, when I run top I see the following only until the first refresh of the processes from top: 0 root 0 -20 20k 24k non 3:59 33.2/ 0.1 0 root 0 -20 20k 24k non 3:59 33.2/ 0.1 0 root 0 -20 20k 24k non 3:59 33.2/ 0.1 After top refreshes that first time, I never see them again. Has anyone seen either of these before? Any theories? -- Keith Reed UNIX/SAN Administrator CareTech Solutions, Inc. Detroit Medical Center
