Have a look at the man pages for top and ps for listings of running processes. I'm not sure what system mepis uses for starting/stopping things like apache, but have a look for directories like /etc/rc.d or /etc/rc.d/init.d

In those directories should be the scripts for starting/stopping apache, etc. You should be able to run them with a start, stop or status parameter. To disable a script, use chmod to remove the execute flag/s (after stopping it).

Mepis ??

Why are you posting in the Mepis forum?

Do you have Mepis installed?

In KDE there is KSysguard which will show you what is running and allow you to kill processes

For services like Apache there is update-rc.d (although sometimes when you do upgrades the services come back -- there's a command to take care of this too)

Checkout htop as well for a nice interactive process manager that doesn't need X.

yes, i have mepis installed. thanks for the information. i'll look into ksysguard (and top, gee - thanks).

when i looked into /etc/rc.d

my system had something like /etc/rc.d(0), /etc/rc.d(1), /etc/rc.d(2)...

i'm not at my mepis box right now so i don't know the exact layout, but each instance had a sequential number and there were about 10 instances.

i didn't spend too much time investigating - it is on my list.
