My N900 will sometimes stay warm, even with apps closed and drain down just like I was running the apps.

What is the terminal command to see what is running? In regards to that, why is there not a task manager in the UI?

commands:
top - like task manager, show you processor/memory loading for programs
ps aux | more - show list all running program with some additional information

top shows you what processes are running and how much CPU time they are taking.

Running this command from the terminal I see that the N900 doens't like to sit still. Up to 3% usr/3% sys while idle with spikes up to 16% usr (from dbus, probably some kind of notification happening).

There's also a widget (systeminfowidget) that shows the load on a widget. Handy if you don't want to leave the terminal running but seems to consume a few % load by itself (at least while the desktop is visible). I'm not sure what repo it's in though (I've got all of extras, testing and devel). The app manager doesn't seem to tell you where an app comes from and my apt-foo isn't high enough to figure it out from the commandline.
