Check running processes
Once a process which did not open it's own window is running in the background you cannot see it anymore in the terminal from which you started it. To see processes running in the background (as well as all other processes) you can use the command 'ps'. For example:
| Volet |
|---|
| ps -fu username |
To get more information about 'ps' execute the command : man ps
Another way to see all running processes is with 'top'. For example:
| Volet |
|---|
| top -u username |
Kill a background process
Once a process is running in the background you cannot terminate it anymore with Ctrl-C or Ctrl-D. If the process you sent in the background has its own window you can kill the window and with that usually the process. But if you sent a process in the background which does not have a window you do not even see it anymore in the terminal from which you started it. But you can see it with 'ps' or 'top' - see above.
Once you found the process you want to terminate you can kill it with:
| Volet |
|---|
| kill -9 Job-ID |
