I _think_ this is because of the way they do threading---If you do a top or ps -A you'll only get the parent processes and not the children (who are actually using the cpu.)
I remember that there is a command that shows you what processes are running that are not showing up under ps, but I cannot think of it at the moment. You can always compare the PID's from ps -A against /proc/[0-9]* to find the culprit though. HTH, Brent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
