Monitoring Active processes
 

I was wondering if there is a way to monitor which processes are running. I have the game server program which I launch at startup but can't verify if its running or not. The only way I can tell is if I try to connect from the client software and if i can't connect, then I assume that it's not running. I tried using the ps command but it does'nt show up there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

HW :Pengy:

Type: top at the command line.

As twilli said, top does the trick ...

However, so should ps :}

Maybe you just need to use some
parameters? For instance, if you're loged
in as john_doe, a simple 'ps ' won't show
you any daemons that are being run by
root or any other system users.

Try a 'ps -A', if it's too much output
pipe it through grep and search for the
name of the server process 'ps -A | grep <server>'
