Guest Vaibhav Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 The command ps gives you all the running processes in the konsole but what about the rest of process like mozilla or xmms running on mandrake. Why are these processes not shown in the output of ps command. What are the ways in which we can monitor all the processes running on mandrake and kill them from the konsole.

Mhn Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 (edited) I use to write 'ps ax' to see all. If you run 'ps --help' you will see available switches... Edited February 18, 2007 by Mhn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iphitus Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 pgrep is useful for getting a particular process, eg pgrep firefox will return the PID's of any process with firefox in it's name. Also useful is killall firefox-bin Will kill all processes by the name of 'firefox-bin' And also good is: killall -9 kopete adding the -9 will remove those stubborn processes that don't want to go If adding -9 doesnt work, the process has locked up in kernelspace, and often the only way to kill it is to reboot.
