None that I'm aware of. 'top' gives you a something similar to this; cf its man page. (b) Is there a primer or FAQ somewhere for downloading and looking at the source for Darwin (I wouldn't want to bother anyone here for detailed instructions -- I just wanted to peek at the dynamic_pager and related source to see if I could learn anything.) <http://developer.apple.com/darwin> should provide all the help you need (including how to sign up for an Apple ID, which you will need to view/download source that is licensed under APSL). The pager is in the system_cmds project. Regards, Justin -- /~\ The ASCII Justin C.
