 To dynamically create a list of virtualbox VM's (and allow you to run them) 
 as an OpenBox pipe menu

+## topmem.sh and topcpu.sh
+
+While these aren't exactly *speedy* or *optimized*, they do what I want;
+they show me the top five memory using (or CPU using, respectively) 
+*commands*.  That is, it lumps all `vivaldi-bin` or `firefox-bin` 
+processes together before doing the calculation and sort. That way I can 
+see what commands are eating up everything.
+
+A small note - processes from bash, python, and java (at present) are 
+not *excluded*, but the command they're *running* is what is counted. So 
+for example, these three commands:
+
+`/usr/bin/python /usr/share/kupfer/kupfer.py --no-splash`
+`/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/autokey-gtk`
+`/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/dstat -c -C 0,1,total -d -s -n -y -r`
+
+are *not* lumped together, but are treated as separate commands.
