          • Thank you. Unlike htop or sudo htop, this really outputs values for all users. Apparently the Cassandra install i did last week and did not get around to doing anything with yet was eating up more than 26% of my RAM to do god only knows what with. Stopped the service with service cassandra stop and, hopefully, prevented further autostart with update-rc.d cassandra disable
