How to See your Running Processes

Here’s another one. I wanted to show you is how to view like all your running processes and all that stuff. I’m no a Linux expert but there’s a couple ways you can do it or couple utilities you can use now.

First tab, you can run top, T-O-P. Hit that and it continuously refreshes and shows us load average. I think this is like current, no, no, no the last minute, the last five minutes and the last 50 minutes kind of average I think. So there’s some other stuff and here you can see that it sorted by default, by CPU. Right now, record my desktop is using most of it then you’ve got X org and another stuff.

So to stop this, you just control C and here’s another one which I think you have to run—to install, I think you had to do—install H top which kind of the best better looking one. Let’s check out H top. So you run this and it’s colored. You can click on the search. You can click on any of the stuff here, sort by. Up here, you can see nice little graph. Here’s all cord, cord one, cord two, cord three, cord four. Here’s your memory and swap. Also shows you your load average here as well but it’s just little more colorful, little more powerful, easier on eyes if you ask me. Now, I know there’s a lot of advance stuff you can do with it but I’m not going to bother at the moment. And control C and there you go.
