10139N/A<para>The System Monitor application displays a list of system processes,

10139N/Aand monitors system usage. System Monitor shows which processes are running

10139N/Aand how the processes are related. </para>

10139N/A<para>System Monitor also provides detailed information about individual processes,

10139N/Aand enables the user to control which processes are running. System Monitor

10139N/Adisplays how much processor (CPU) capacity the system is using, and how much

10139N/Adisk space the system is using on each device. </para>

10139N/A<para>System Monitor displays this information in a graphical interface so

10139N/Athat users can see what the system is doing. Users can then use the same graphical

10139N/Ainterface to modify the behavior of the system.</para>
