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.
