Off topic, but a neat trick when grepping your processes to find
information about one is to use "ps auxw | grep processName | grep -v
grep"

This only lists the process(es) you want, and not the grep command
itself which would otherwise would also be picked up.  Its doesn't
reallu matter, but it is a little more elegant.
