Re: [gnome-love] Task manager for GNOME

[Brady Hegberg <bradyh bitstream net>]

"gnome-system-monitor" is probably the closest to what you're looking
for.  There's a program called "acme" that I think would let you setup a
key combination to run the command "gnome-system-monitor" but I've never
used it.

If you want to ssh to a system you can setup a launcher with the command
"ssh -l username systemaddress" - where systemaddress can be either an
address like "www.gnome.org" or an ip address like "172.121.16.25".

Oh and when you want to find a program that does what you want and you
have an rpm based system like Redhat or Mandrake - one way is to use the
command "rpm -qa | grep keyword"...for instance if you want a config
command run "rpm -qa | grep config" and that will give you a list of all
the programs installed with the word config in them.
