If you're looking at the "STATE" column, I believe this is normal (looking at top on my dual P3 system); from what I understand, the "C" column next to it shows what CPU the process is running on (I have a mix of zeros and ones in that column). The "CPU0" and "CPU1" entries in the "STATE" column seem to have something to do with when a process switches from one CPU to another. Of course, it seems that the top(1) manpage hasn't been updated in ages, so I'm not sure about any of this :) - Michael Imamura mimamura@resnet.gatech.edu LUG@GT Web Guy http://www.lugatgt.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
