Looks that way to me!!!! HOWEVER when I was first thrown to the lions, I asked a lot of VERY basic questions to the former administrator and system software specialists. I don't know what I would have done without their help. Heck, I'm still making a pest of myself with the specialists.
I don't have a problem with collage students asking basic questions, (I wish I had this forum when I was in school). I do however have a problem with the number of questions in a row and of the type that can be found in any reference book or in the man pages.
Try this for your process problem, ps -ef | grep hithere. This should return the information about process hithere. BTW the ps -ef is an example in the man pages.
