<para>The System Monitor application displays a list of system processes,

and monitors system usage. System Monitor shows which processes are running

and how the processes are related. </para>

<para>System Monitor also provides detailed information about individual processes,

and enables the user to control which processes are running. System Monitor

displays how much processor (CPU) capacity the system is using, and how much

disk space the system is using on each device. </para>

<para>System Monitor displays this information in a graphical interface so

that users can see what the system is doing. Users can then use the same graphical

interface to modify the behavior of the system.</para>
