Every once in a while I see a completion status bar flash across the screen and I am curious to figure out what it is doing ?
There must be some kind of kewl utility that will tell me what is running, and now I need to poke around and find it.
This is kinda fun.

open a konsole, x-term, terminal and type in
top
and press enter, and you can see what process are the top uses of ram
and/or CPU cycles…
or, type in
ps -ef | less
and you can see all the running processes…
hmmmmm…i guess someone who “grew up” in a GUI world would tell you
to open a GUI tool…i would tell you how, but i have forgotten (it
is been so long since i did it)
NOTICE: you need to start telling which version of openSUSE and which
desktop you are running–in every post (yours are not the only
questions i try to answer and i cannot remember all currently posting
forum users details)
so assuming you are using KDE: go Menu > Applications > System >
Monitor > System Monitor, and have a lot of fun.
alternatively: hold down the left Alt and press F2…a dialog will
pop-up at the top of the screen…on my KDE it has four icons and a
blank to type in…so type in
system monitor
and pick one
or after doing the Alt+F2, click on the icon that looks like a box
with a squiggly line in it…and have a lot of fun
i think i mentioned earlier that there are a lot of ways to do things…

Thank you DD and I will remember to indicate what I am running.
I think kded4 is the culprit, so now to go poke around and see what he is doing.
