Hi,

TOP command shows you the top resource consuming processes running in your system. For example if CPU is consumed heavily you see high percentage for that process under CPU column. If a process is consuming lot of memory you see high percentage of memeory in the MEM column for that process.

What you actually see ?

So what did you see in you TOP command.

root is user name from which those process are started.

hi,

if you have a EOE, you oculd use glance or gpm ( gui ) instead of top.

hi

if top shows four root means,, some process run by root.

users cmd displays 4 root means someone may be taking rlogin to the particular server.eventhough u said no one knows root pwd so if u logged in server it should show ur username.

so for complete clerance ,,, paste the output of

w,last -R -5 root, users

HI Madhu

Please find command output.

[Kapil Jha]

It just says 4 users as root are logged in to the server.
they must be doing something, people might have not logged out.

check with all who have root permission may be send a wall message :)

There seems to be nothing wrong with it.

Is there anything wrong with three root users logged on since Jan 25?

Hi,

Unless HP-UX has overnight become a linux variant, the above output doesnt come from a HP-UX system. ;)
