Re: [orca-list] Orca becomes unresponsive periodically on Linux Mint 9

HI,

I assume you ment this to go to the list.
No, here ps or uptime is better.  FIrst orca is unresponsive therefore
it'll be rather hard to use the app in question.  The fact these take
snapshots is intentional, they will tell you roughly what is happening
in a way you can use.  My first thought was top (curses system monitor
sounds similar) but the fact that its curses and real time causes a
problem because how do you get the data?

   A side comment- in Ubuntu there is a GUI app called "System Monitor"
   that can give you nearly real-time monitoring of system resource useage
   and a list of running applications with status and cumulative CPU
   usage, that may be more useful than snapshots provided by command line
   options for troubleshooting this issue.  It should work in Mint as
   well...
