UNIX01/Searching For Processes

Classnotes | UNIX01 | RecentChanges | Preferences

Using the techniques discussed so far, we will now search for a variety of processes on our system.

Begin by starting up an instance of Mozilla, Konqueror, and KCalc (find them in the menu). Next, get a terminal if you do not already have one open (this can be an xterm, konsole, or whatever you desire to use).

Now, use ps and grep, search for the mozilla, konqueror, and kcalc processes on your system. Output the results of your searches into the files /home/student/moz.txt, /home/student/konq.txt and /home/student/kcalc.txt.

Then, view those files with less, more, or cat and verify that you were able to catch the processes for each. Did you catch any additional processes? Should we be concerned about these other processes?

If you did not catch the processes, should you pass anything else to ps or grep to make them catch them?
