You can also make use of the switches of "htop" like "s" to strace the

I asked on the apcupsd mailing list and it is normal for apcupsd to show
that extra PID. Mysql does the same: htop shows 13 PID's and 'ps -Al'
shows 2!
But noone said 'why' that is so...
Well, according to "man ps" -section "notes"- this utility reads the
processes listed under /proc so if there is no such a process in there,
"ps" will not list it.
Question then is what kind of PID is listing htop :-?
(searching...)
Oh, okay :-)
Why does htop show lots of apache2 processes by ps aux doesn't?
