[General Questions and Answers] ab1jx:
OK, I was hoping for a Windows-type solution. But here I am a retired IT guy with 27 years unix experience and a rooted Android phone. The first thing that jumps out at me is that ps ax shows nothing, only a header line. How? It is a Termux version/. On a similar but non-rooted phone ps ax shows processes as I'd expect, I can try to copy that one over.

Top shows me this but I'm not sure what shouldn't be there:

User 1%, System 1%, IOW 0%, IRQ 0%
User 17 + Nice 0 + Sys 21 + Idle 1206 + IOW 1 + IRQ 0 + SIRQ 0 = 1245
