clxkzj Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 If a process becomes unresponsive in WINDOWS then we press "alt+ctrl+del" to invoke the task manager & then terminate the process.Is there any similar way to invoke the Linux Terminal so that we can end a process by the 'kill' command when it becomes unresponsive?Any help would be gladly accepted.

trq Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Are you talking about doing this within a desktop environment or from within a true terminal? If your in a true terminal you can use Alt-F2 - F8 to switch to a new terminal, log in then kill the process. Otherwise, its going to depend on your desktop setup and what exactly is hanging.

BMurtagh Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 If you're able to SSH to the box, login again do ps x (if the process is running under your user) or ps aux to list all the processes and then you can 'kill' the unresponsive one according to its PID.
