graphics\howbutt.gifMonitoring system processes and performance

You can access information about all processes that are running on the operating system. Task Viewer displays a list of processes with information about each process, including its unique ID number, the user that invoked it, the time that it has been running, and the amount of memory that it is using. You can sort the processes by information field, or filter the processes so that only the processes you are interested in seeing are displayed.

Task Viewer lets you abort system processes, but unless you are logged in as the root user, you can abort only the processes that you own. The root user can abort any system process.

Task Viewer also displays information about the operating system's overall performance. The CPU Load Performance meter displays the overall processor load. The Memory Usage Performance meters displays the total memory used by the operating system and gives a breakdown of the memory usage by programs, buffer, cache, and swap memory.

You can also use the Process Manager to monitor and manage all processes on your Corel LINUX computer. For more information about the Process Manager, see the Corel LINUX Server Administrator Guide or the Corel LINUX Server Administrator online Help.
