I found an unexpected behaviour with the 'Resources window' about CPU, memory and network usage when the application is being launched from a SSH connection. More precisely : - when I connect locally to the Xubuntu 8.04 server, launch application A (firewall) and gnome-system-monitor from a terminal, I see the system CPU increasing to around 50% under DoS test trafic (sent by another Xubuntu server). - when I connect remotely to the server (with SSH), launch application A and gnome-system-monitor from the SSH login, I do not see anymore the CPU increase although the DoS test trafic is still there and application A is still discarding attack packets (CPU remains below 10%). It seems that 'gnome-system-monitor' does not show the same CPU/memory information whether it is launched locally or remotely. By the way, same thing happens with the 'top' command under the same hypothesis. Thanks for any help on this topic, Patrick </BODY> </HTML>
