    Unix command to find and kill processes

    Windows have a good UI task manager to find and kill processes. But you need to do that in unix only using commands.

    top
    By default top command displays the processes in the order of CPU usage. When the top command is running, press M (Shift + m) to display processes sorted by memory usage.

    To search for a process :
    ps -eafww | grep "java"

    Section of command Explanation
    ps Used to find the process status.
    e List information about every process now running
    a List information about all processes most frequently requested: all those except process group leaders and processes not associated with a terminal
    f Generate a full listing (detailed info)
    ww If the info goes more than one line, display every thing.
    | pipe command
    grep java used to search all java processes

    To Kill the process : 
    kill –9 pid

    Section of command Explanation
    kill used to kill a process
    -9 force kill
    pid you can get the process id using any one of the above two commands
    Hope this help…
    Cool…
