Later I was thinking of ps and different versions of top. I guess for Albert "htop" might be interesting. I'm not sure, but there might be the need to install htop. htop is a command that must run in a Terminal, once it runs it's possible to scroll through all processes and to kill a process by selecting it, pushing F9 and then confirm with enter or cancel with Esc. KDE3 and perhaps KDE4 have a shortcut to run something similar to htop, resp. the Windows task manager. I don't know the gnome-system-manager, but I suppose it's similar to htop. Btw. on 64 Studio 3.0-beta3 htop can't be quitted by F10, to quit it there's the need to use the mouse or Ctrl + C. Albert, if you want to stop an application running in a terminal Ctrl + C most times will quit it. If an application for the GUI hung up there's an applet for the GNOME panel to quit it. Right-click to the GNOME panel > chose "Add to Panel" and add "Force Quit". KDE again has got a shortcut for this by default. _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
