> If I had two cores, my CPU usage would be 50% since my computer can run two processes at the same time. The load average of a computer with 2 cores that has a 100% CPU usage would be 2.00. If I recall correctly the CPU usage would still be 100% but could go up to 200% if both cores are fully used.
Thank you! Great writeup! I applaud the way you approached it - figuring out every single thing about a tool. Also, I didn't know about 'od' command. Thanks again!
please do explain in 2 words the od command. I was looking on the page and there is only one od command and it is not explained. thank you

I switched to macOS from Linux two weeks ago and I am starting to regret that decision. Most — if not all — the commands that I thought I had mastered after years working on Linux environments stopped working because their BSD counterparts have slightly differences that completely break everything I try to do. It is even more frustrating when I realize that I have to deactivate security features built-in the new Appl…
A server can perfectly run without dbus, accountsservice, logind, policykit and acpid. And, unlike he wrote, timesyncd NTP synchronization works well without dbus.
(Debian base has also cron and rsyslog running by default, for legacy reasons.)
You can use your mouse/TrackPoint in htop to click on menu options, processes etc...
htop is one of the most missed tools when I am on a non-Linux OS. On servers I find atop to actually be a better tool for finding issues that happen incrementally and not an obvious issue. I think that atop and htop both are very complimentary. http://www.atoptool.nl/ "Atop is an ASCII full-screen performance monitor for Linux that is capable of reporting the activity of all processes (even if processes have finished…
unless by non-Linux you meant non-unix, htop recently got updated to better support BSDs and OSX/MacOS.
