Can you run "top" and see what's busy?

Hello! Just so you know, I am even newer than a newbie, so you'll have to talk to me like I'm five.

Yes, I'm at a shell prompt.

I tried logging in with my system name and password, but it came up as incorrect.

I typed in the "ps -ef" and this is what I got: ps: illegal option --f usage: ps [-aChjlmMrSTuvwx] [0|o fmt] [-p pid] [-t Hy] [-U user] [-N system] [-W swap] ps [-L]

Shutdown -h now works -- yea! I didn't know how to do that before.

Top brings up a bunch of stuff. Top line reads Processes: 5 total, 2 running, 3 sleeping.

I am also able to change directories and see that my folders and files are still there.

datetime::format::epoch::macos

DateTime::Format::Epoch::MacOS(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		       DateTime::Format::Epoch::MacOS(3pm)

NAME

       DateTime::Format::Epoch::MacOS - Convert DateTimes to/from Mac OS epoch seconds

SYNOPSIS

	 use DateTime::Format::Epoch::MacOS;

	 my $dt = DateTime::Format::Epoch::MacOS->parse_datetime( 1051488000 );
	 DateTime::Format::Epoch::MacOS->format_datetime($dt);
	  # 1051488000

	 my $formatter = DateTime::Format::Epoch::MacOS->new();

	 my $dt2 = $formatter->parse_datetime( 1051488000 );

	 $formatter->format_datetime($dt2);
	  # 1051488000

DESCRIPTION

       This module can convert a DateTime object (or any object that can be converted to a DateTime object) to the number of seconds since the Mac
       OS epoch.

       Note that the Mac OS epoch is defined in the local time zone. This means that these two pieces of code will print the same number of
       seconds, even though they represent two datetimes 6 hours apart:

	   $dt = DateTime->new( year => 2003, month => 5, day => 2,
				time_zone => 'Europe/Amsterdam' );
	   print $formatter->format_datetime($dt);

	   $dt = DateTime->new( year => 2003, month => 5, day => 2,
				time_zone => 'America/Chicago' );
	   print $formatter->format_datetime($dt);

       Mac OS X is a Unix system, and uses the Unix epoch (1970-01-01T00:00:00). Use DateTime::Format::Epoch::Unix instead.

METHODS

       Most of the methods are the same as those in DateTime::Format::Epoch.  The only difference is the constructor.

       o   new()

	   Constructor of the formatter/parser object. It has no parameters.

SUPPORT

       Support for this module is provided via the datetime@perl.org email list. See http://lists.perl.org/ for more details.
