Stuff running in the background...?
is it normal for there to be 13 different gmc processes running in the background of my mandrake 8.0 linux box? If not, how do I shut the extra processes down?

ok... i don't know what gmc is, so i'll assume that it's a mandrake-specific prog. but, it's not at all unusual to have a large number of processes running under the same program. mingetty, httpd, and a few others run many processes simultaneously. it's usually not a concern. however, if you feel the need to kill a process, do exactly that : type
ps -f at the command prompt, and the computer will spit out a bunch of processes with their number names. refer to them by the numbers using the kill command : kill 6745 that should do it. |
GMC is the gnome midnigth commander, it has a process for every icon on your desktop.
