Guess what?
When I run ifconfig, iwconfig, and route from Konsole, I get the following results monitoring the root partition with GKrellM:
ifconfig -> approx. 5 second delay -> then 49K Write
iwconfig -> approx. 2 second delay -> then 41K Write
route -> approx. 5 second delay -> then 82K write
So, it would seem that I was seeing ifconfig running and writing in the background while KNemo was loaded. However, I can't explain exactly what the write is or why I wasn't seeing the 41K and 82K from iwconfig and route, which you say are also running with KNemo. |

Firstly, thank you for the reply.
Now, to the 49K: I was using GKrellM to monitor the disk device containing my root partition. After installing KNemo, the monitor would show a spike in disk activity and indicate a write-size of 49K every 5 seconds (give or take a few milliseconds :)). Since this only identifies the activity and indicates size without any other specifics, I installed SysInternals FileMon for the explicit purpose of tracking down exactly what the disk activity was. But, I could not get FileMon to run without errors, thus I could not report the results. FileMon is tool I use often and successfully under Windows XP, but for some reason I couldn't get the Linux version to work. Probably my fault.
Anyway, as I said before, the disk activity indicated by GKrellM began after installing KNemo and ceased after uninstalling. I repeated the install / uninstall several times with the same behavior exhibited.
Again, thank you for replying. I'm more curious than ever about the 49K since you aren't even aware of it. :)

I installed KNemo a couple of days ago but have since uninstalled for the following reasons:
1. KNemo places a 1 - 2% load on the CPU even when no network activity (or activity of any kind) is occurring (i.e., system is idle); this % is not high, but why does KNemo even need this amount? Other similar and more powerful monitors (e.g., GKrellM) do not cause any such load;
2. KNemo writes 49K to disk every 5 seconds (non-stop) once it is loaded. What is this activity and why is it necessary?
I installed and uninstalled KNemo several times to assure myself the activity was caused by KNemo. Every time KNemo was installed, the above described behavior ocurred; everytime KNemo was unistalled, the above behavior ceased. Thus, I am positive KNemo is the culprit.
KNemo was installed from SuSE 9.2 64-bit RPM.
Thank you for any response.
