NAME
     gnome-system-monitor - view  system  processes  and  monitor
     system usage on your computer

SYNOPSIS
     gnome-system-monitor [gnome-std-options]

DESCRIPTION
     The System Monitor application displays  a  list  of  system
     processes,  and  monitors system usage. System Monitor shows
     which processes  are  running  and  how  the  processes  are
     related.

     System Monitor  also  provides  detailed  information  about
     individual  processes, and enables the user to control which
     processes are running. System Monitor displays how much pro-
     cessor (CPU) capacity the system is using, and how much disk
     space the system is using on each device.

     System Monitor displays  this  information  in  a  graphical
     interface  so  that  users can see what the system is doing.
     Users can then use the same graphical  interface  to  modify
     the behavior of the system.
