Command to show services running?

AMDPwred · 02-24-2002, 06:38 PM

I remember seeing a command where you can enable/disable service running in the background. Does anyone know what that is? I'm running a Q3 server and I don't want things running unless they need to be. Thanks for your help.

the command is "ps aux" to see everything running. also "top" does the same.

If you are running quake3server then use Blackbox and you wont have to worry about unnecessary proggies eating ur ram

just because you run blackbox doesn't mean that there won't be unecessary processes running in the background...

Yes, but Blacbox uses like almost zero resources so its a good start..but you still need to do a "ps aux" and close applications running.

No, it wasn't ps aux. It was like sysnvy or something similar.

not sure of any particular shell command, what you might have scene was a type of program that isn't a command of some sort.

cause a ps -aux will show all processes running and from there you can kill them by obtaining the process id number..

Well, when you type the command in the command line, it brings up a blue screen (like Xconfigurator) and shows things like samba, telnet, sendmail, and more. I just can't remember what it was.

if your in X, you can use gtop to have a graphical display showing the processes.. unsure of any other program in X that would do this off the top of my head.

I belive the command you are looking for is ntsysv

A better way is by using

linuxconf > Control > Control Panel > Control Service Activity.

There u will see all daemons and their staus.

I like qps. It's a continuous graphical display in X of running processes. Highlight the processes you don't want and use the signal drop down and kill selection on it.
