I have just loaded FreeBSD 950210-SNAP onto my home computer (486DX2-80) to do some coding simulations. Everything works great! However, whenenver I use "ps -ux" to check the status of a simulation running in the background it returns some erroneous results: >USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND >davidk 192 124.6 3.3 224 472 p1 R 4:23AM 0:13.10 sim1_2 >davidk 190 0.0 3.1 552 436 p1 S 4:23AM 0:00.37 -u (tcsh) why is it that % cpu utilization for process 192 is > 100%. Is this some "feature" that I am not aware of? If it is a bug, what part of the source should I modify to fix it? (I am not an experienced UNIX system program. I just write coding simulations.) -- David Kwan Email: davidk@ee.ubc.ca Graduate Studies (M.A.Sc Program) Electrical Engineering The University of British Columbia Vancouver B.C. Canada
