I think this is probably a pretty trivial question. But I haven't been able to answer it despite searching. When I run the command "ps -ax" in a terminal, I get a long list of the commands running on my machine. The vast majority make sense to me. One of the commands, with a PID of 8048, lists the command as -:0
I have no idea what this is, or how to figure that out. Anyone, have an idea? If I had to guess, I think it has something to do with X. Thanks. |

you might like pstree.
for instance: if I run "ps ax"
| Code: | ...
1427 ? SL 1:00 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -auth/var/run/xauth/A:0-bHljfB
1428 ? S 0:00 -:0
1500 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-session
...
|
-:0 seems to be pid 1428.
so you can run "pstree -ap"
| Code: | ...
├─kdm,1425
│ ├─X,1427 -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-bHljfB
│ └─kdm,1428
│ └─gnome-session,1500
...
|
which shows pid 1428 as kdm.
hth,

| Yeah, thanks, that does help. I didn't think it was anything to be worried about (i.e. trojan, spyware). But I didn't like not knowing what it was. Thanks. |
