"sh" appears in my iStat Nano widget as one of the top four processes, generally taking up between 3 and 6% of the CPU of a a G3/500 iBook. It's got a Safari icon next to it, but this might not mean anything -- Microsoft Entourage appears in iStat Pro with the MS Word icon.

Does anyone know what exactly this "sh" is doing? I'm assuming it's a basic system-level process, but it doesn't show up in Activity Monitor as "sh," even though I've listed all CPU processes.

Pardon my ignorance on this one. It's something that I think I ought to know but don't. I just like to know what's running on my computer.
