Probably? You mean surely!

One where I'm logged in: tty7, and since I opened a terminal to run "top"
or "w", that's 2: pts/1.

So, unless you run "top" logged in a shell, not-graphic mode, you have 2
users. Dammit, it takes quite some time to make a Linux expert!

I don't remember coming across this "w" command and I wonder where else
than here I could have got this explanation.

The "w" command!

OK. But it's not what writes to my disk, because I tried XFCE and
multiload-applet is not used by XFCE. So let me ask the question more
directly.

How to I learn which process keeps writing 8 KB buffers to my disk when I
do nothing and my modem is switched off?

Thanks!
