Task Manager In Linux

[GlassFish]

Hi everyone !

I am using Linux to operate the oracle database and I have done the oracle practices on windows and I want to see the current running processes in linux operating that I easily can see in the windows operating system using task manager.

Is there any utility or tools a available which can able to show me the process status and description in linux.

Thanks.

The windows provides a better graphics to see the task and processes in a collective place that is known as task manager.

The utility is also available in linux that can show you the current processes on the terminal.There are 7 sessions can be opened on a particular linux operating system.

If you logged in on the first terminal,you can see the current processes of the session,you need to enter only the command as follows -

$ ps

The command would show you the processes currently running on the system session.

Not exactly !

The task manager of windows and the way to get the process status in linux is very different from Linux administration. I don't think and I had worked upon the linux,the Linux doesn't provide any graphical tools to investigate about your current processes.

You can see using the specified command and if you want to make some changes in the process status then you have to enter the command for specific changes in the control.

Thanks.

Hey Paul !

I am also agree with the above post,there is no any graphical option and window facility to see the processes in Linux as windows can provide you.

I can't say about the another version and editions but the red-hat doesn't provide you the graphical tools but the administration of the processes are much more powerful and capable than windows operating system.

You can see the processes running on the linux operating system and can manage it with better way.

You can see the process configuration and description with the help of the following suggested command.The command would give the whole description of the following components -

• Installed applications and related processes.
• System running processes.
• system startup processes.
• Current shell.

Type the command in terminal -
Ps -ax

You can see the processes which is related to the current running application and system defined processes .

I am going to show you a command which is very helpful through which you can manage the whole session of the system.The command will show you the description of the processes from different sections.
