      Section: - GUIDED EXERCISE: IDENTIFYING SYSTEM MONITORING TOOLS
      Language: |
      Workaround:

      Description: The first Guided Exercise "IDENTIFYING SYSTEM MONITORING
      TOOLS" of Chapter 2 says:

      5. Using top, locate the process using the most physical memory and kill it.
      5.1. Press Shift+R to sort the processes based on resident size (RES). Record the process
      ID listed under PID column for the process.

      Issue 1: Shift+R is hotkey for toggle sort order, but not for selecting to sort the processes based on resident size.  Shift+M more suitable  to sort by memory usage. BUT:

      Issue 2: process stress.py, which the exercise logic is guided by, is characterized not by the highest memory usage, but by the highest CPU usage: Shift+P
