Get Rid of Duplicated Entries/Processes in htop Display
Submitted by kai on Thu, 2009-02-19 00:28. ::
htop is a "top" on steroid Linux utility for interactively viewing processes.
What puzzled me was that some of the process counts seem to be doubled.
I know for a fact that I run two Thin servers(BTW, Thin seems to use less memory than Mongrel). But htop shows 4 processes
3895 root 20 0 187M 95484 3732 S 0.0 9.1 0:55.42 thin server (/tmp/site.1.sock) 3899 root 20 0 187M 95484 3732 S 0.0 9.1 0:03.26 thin server (/tmp/site.1.sock) 3891 root 20 0 186M 95016 3732 S 0.0 9.1 0:53.30 thin server (/tmp/site.0.sock) 3898 root 20 0 186M 95016 3732 S 0.0 9.1 0:03.18 thin server (/tmp/site.0.sock)
It turns out that htop shows userland thread by default. I just need to turn it off through F2 --> Display options --> Hide userland threads. I wish this is the default behavior.
3895 root 20 0 187M 95484 3732 S 2.0 9.1 0:54.71 thin server (/tmp/site.0.sock) 3891 root 20 0 186M 95016 3732 S 1.3 9.1 0:52.59 thin server (/tmp/site.1.sock)
