I've got a server that is running slow (slow to log in, commands on command line take way longer than usual). But the top command doesn't say much (that I understand). The one interesting item is a 99.7% value in the 'id' field at the top of the output. Reading man page and googling has left me no wiser, unless it means 'idle'. Anyone know what it stands for? Nothing in the log to indicate being busy or having problems that would slow it down. mahalo, Dave My output: top - 10:48:10 up 20:30, 2 users, load average: 0.01, 0.04, 0.01 Tasks: 98 total, 2 running, 96 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 0.0% us, 0.3% sy, 0.0% ni, 99.7% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si Mem: 16509316k total, 15993912k used, 515404k free, 107280k buffers Swap: 16779884k total, 0k used, 16779884k free, 15192476k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 1 root 16 0 4876 588 496 S 0.0 0.0 0:02.09 init 2 root 34 19 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 ksoftirqd/0 3 root RT 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 watchdog/0 4 root 10 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.01 events/0 5 root 20 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 khelper 6 root 10 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kthread 10 root 10 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.03 kblockd/0 11 root 20 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kacpid 300 root 10 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 khubd 304 root 10 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kseriod 368 root 15 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.97 pdflush 369 root 15 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:04.72 pdflush 370 root 15 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:01.38 kswapd0 371 root 20 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 aio/0 517 root 11 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kpsmoused 534 root 11 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 scsi_eh_0 555 root 11 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 scsi_eh_1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
