"vmstat -systat" seems to produce the most believable numbers. Is top broken (got the port from freefall) or is this "normal?" :-) Chris -- Christopher Mauritz | For info on internet access: ritz@mordor.com | finger/mail info@ritz.mordor.com OR Mordor International | http://www.mordor.com/ 201/212/718 internet access | Modem: (201)433-7343,(212)843-3451
