Get PID number
 

Hi,
I know how to get the user info from the grep command
example: grep -i user_name /etc/passwd

But how do you get the PID number so that I can do a kill on this user??

Thank you in advance.

just type ' top ' in a console , you'll get a list...

Hi - Is there another command besides 'top'? There's times where you can't wait for top scroll to a specific process.

Thanks,
JB

Use the ps command.

Thanks everyone for your help.

The actual command I was looking for is:

ps -aux

This is a very handy command that I think every newbie out there should master.

Again, Thanks!
JB
