Snow Leopard and process monitoring
I finally installed Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) on my primary desktop. On launching my trusty process watcher ‘top
‘ for the first time, I noticed it has a lot more columns of output than it used to. The best part – resizing the window gave me even more output. Even wilder – I use transparent terminal windows, so I can keep an eye on what else is going on with my computer. Now, the png files generated by shift-command-4 preserve the transparency.
