Hi,

i was wondering if there is a GUI type task manager in SuSE 9.0. Something like what windows has where u c the proccess CPU usage, mem usage etc. Thanks.

What's wrong with using top? It has power and capibilities of the windows task manager, only it's text based. I just keep an instance of top permenently running on my desktop.

I think top is just what the original poster is looking for. He probably didn't know about top when he made his post...

The only thing "GUI" about the Microsoft task manager are the tabs on top. Other than that, it pretty much is a text box. And the top command really has a lot more information about each PID.

You can't.

I would recommend you try "gtop"

And usually if you're looking for something in particular you'd go

ps waux | grep "name"

if you want to glance through ps waux alone.... well, do so ;P

can i ask a stupid question about top? how the f*ck do i scroll down to see the remaining proccesses?

I think that the only thing you can do is to make the console window longer... Then do a n, or a # and pick a higher number of tasks.

excuse me but is this **** normal? i mean ffs i dont have a 52 inch screen :)

If you want to scroll through a complete listing, use ps ax | less. That will work.

I am sure that the GUI tools listed above in this thread will work, too.

Just relax. There are plenty of options, and one of them is bound to suit you....
