[Solved] Discrepancies between LuCI Processes and CLI ps

[yaravawiba]

There are lots of noticeable discrepancies between LuCI processes and ps

For instance, just from the first 10 processes listed in ps, many are missing. Is this on purpose?

  PID USER       VSZ STAT COMMAND
    1 root      1328 S    /sbin/procd
    2 root         0 SW   [kthreadd]
    4 root         0 IW<  [kworker/0:0H]
    6 root         0 IW<  [mm_percpu_wq]
    7 root         0 SW   [ksoftirqd/0]
    8 root         0 IW   [rcu_sched]
    9 root         0 IW   [rcu_bh]
   10 root         0 SW   [migration/0]

LuCI uses top -bn1 to fetch the process list.

Ok, gotcha. Is that the best way to do it? Oftentimes I see my router load average in the high digits (3-8ish) and when I go over the processors screen none of the processes shown on that screen are utilizing the CPU heavily, which makes me think there are hidden processes that screen is not capturing.
