Re: [opensuse] Help Killling Process

Hi Donald,

I seem to have gotten myself into a situation where a Firefox process
will not die nor will it display anything. (The problem seems to have
something to do with You Tube.) When I try to start up another instance
of Firefox, I get an error message that tells me to either close the
current process or to reboot the system. Rebooting is not a good
solution. I remember from the 'old days' that there is a cli command to
identify a process id and another one to kill a process. I've searched
my memory and the User Manual but cannot identify those two commands.
Any assistance will be sincerely appreciated.

I think the command you are looking for is 'top' ie executed from an
unprivleged user:
$> top

This will give you a listing of the processes and their pid' although
with the update frequency set high, it is difficult to identify the
correct pid as the lines of the displayed processes keep changing.

Rather use one of the other post' recommendations.

Hylton
