The title says it all. The more context the better. So far it does not look like it has anything to do with memory.

Thanks in advance!

What's System Monitor?

Indeed.

I was refering to Gnomes (System Monitor). If you open it and right click a task and than left click the highlighted task there is the option to view the Memorymaps. If Memory Map Files are searched it appears that it allows a process to write to the hard drive and read from the hard drive. Being overwhelmed with confusion I decide to start a new method to (poke) at Linux with the aide of reverse engineering so I wanted to be knowledgable with what is going on with a particular process. I need more of a hands on approach. A diary is even going to be used. I did an exhaustive search and decided that qps monitor is the best Linux System monitor I could find. What the big divide is between Filemon and Procmon from Windows is I have no clue. Filemon is superior, emulate it.

Is has become apparent that you can not know enough about how a process runs and this is currently my own stumbling block. I also discovered that Konsole is way better than the Gnome Terminal for anything but a couple of quick commands.

Serendipity to All!

Don't know anything about the tool. Have a look at /proc/PID
PID == the pid from some interesting process you want to know more about.
To know more about /proc have a look at the kernel docs that come with your kernel source.
