Task Manager on Linux

Question

Hello,

It would be interesting to view the processes running under Linux and stop some of them. I use Kubuntu and sometimes Knoppix, but I haven't found where to do that yet.
Actually, I'm looking for the equivalent of Windows' taskmgr in Unix/Linux!!!

Franzux · Accepted Answer

In command line:

ps aux top

To kill a process:

killall process_id

Regards.

Thank you for these 2 commands: for ps, it only displays 2 lines (bash and ps) while top seems to be the true equivalent of task managers but in console mode
Isn't there anything prettier?
In fact, when viewing processes with top, I don't see where the equivalent of explorer.exe (Windows) is within it, I am using KDE (under Knoppix)

Hello,
on Ubuntu, you have access to a task manager that can be launched from the taskbar: System -> Administration -> System Monitor.
There is notably a "Processes" tab that displays the ongoing tasks
Best regards.

Good evening,

I don't know about Gnome, but under Kde, the "system monitor" displays CPU performance, memory, and network traffic.
To see the processes, the process table - system monitor for Kde shows the processes with the shortcut CTRL + Esc. But I don't know if that works under Gnome as well.

GNOME : Upper taskbar, "System", "Administration", then "System Monitor". Choose the tabs according to your needs, it's similar to Windows, and even...more fun!! :)
