Try re-sizing the Terminal window downwards and it will show up at the bottom. Milton Aupperle

Maybe. If "top" sorts things so that it's visible, which will in turn depend on what processes are using CPU at the moment. The tallest Terminal window I can fit on my screen is 81 lines high, and kernel_task isn't in "top -w" output in that window. But using Activity Monitor it's always easy to find. -- Tom "Tom" Harrington Macaroni, Automated System Maintenance for Mac OS X. Version 2.0: Delocalize, Repair Permissions, lots more.
