You've probably seen this before, but I don't think it's been posted here yet. It's a different way to manage processes.

1. Certain processes are vital to the computer's operation and should not be killed. For example, after I took the screenshot of myself being attacked by csh, csh was shot by friendly fire from behind, possibly by tcsh or xv, and my session was abruptly terminated.
2. Mapping processes to appropriate monsters is difficult. Should large processes be mapped to large monsters? Should the monster type reflect the CPU as well as memory usage? Should processes and their children look alike?
3. It is difficult to tell if your employees are doing real work or just goofing off when tools and games have the same GUI.

I love this.
