Meanwhile, if you're going to make the real-men/top assertion, why don't
you do it right, and say ps, with the appropriate options. If the task
manager isn't for real men, then surely, top isn't either, since it's
simply a semi-gui task manager. In context, ps/pgrep/etc are what "real
men" use. =:^)
"Real Men" read a hex-dump of /dev/kmem and just know where the process
table is placed in memory. :-)
