As if anything is OT here. :) I would like to know what the viewer deamon is (and why it's spelled that way). Top says it's taking 50% of my processor power. What happens if I kill it? Are there other deamons I can kill to save power? I'm logging in via telnet so I don't need anything graphical, for now. I'm just porting stuff to beos and testing the compiling the obos code. Thanks in advance. Fred Ollinger (follinge@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) CCN sysadmin
