Question to: Using ps axc is easier
Authored by: sms on Dec 05, '02 10:22:11AM
How can I search for a specific appliction within the ps output?

I tried ps -aux |grep Microsoft but (although Microsoft Word was running and hanging) the line was empty. Making the console window bigger revealed the PID.

Thanks for any input!

Many Carbon apps don't itemize properly... instead, they fall under the title of "LaunchCFMApp". Sort of a drag, and I'm not sure if there is anyway around it. That when I look at how long a process has been running and then "guess" I'm killing the right one.
