Pid task manager

Linux As long-term computer users, we've certainly had to use something like Windows' Task Manager, at least a few times. An application becomes unresponsive, or slow, or simply misbehaves. And clicking on that "X" button just doesn't work. So we fire up Task Manager, right-click on the "bad app", and "End task" it.But what's the Linux equivalent to Task Manager? When all we have is an SSH connection to some remote Linux server? And just a command line to play in?The command to kill any process on Linux, based on its PID (Process IDentifier) number, is:sudo kill -9 1149Where -9 is a shortcut to the SIGKILL (force-kill signal). And 1149 is the PID. Of course, we'd replace 1149 with whatever applies to our specific scenario.💡However, let's go beyond just the command to kill a process on Linux. Since that should be used as a last resort, as it has the potential to be destructive, in some cases.In this guide, we'll answer questions like these:How do I find the PID of the process I want to terminate? Based on the process name.How do I find the PID of the process with the highest CPU utilization?How do I find and terminate a process that is listening to a certain port?How do I gracefully terminate / stop a process on Linux?How do I force-kill it if a graceful terminate does not work? (process unresponsive / stuck).What if it's a long-running process that should be restarted, how do I terminate, and then re-initialize that process (with systemd).Let's go through all of that.Step 1 – Find the PID of the ProcessThe first thing that we need to find is the so-called PID of that process. Think of it as Process IDentifier. A number that uniquely identifies this process, and only this process. No other process will have the same PID.Scenario 1 – Find the PID Based on the Process, or Application NameLet's say that we noticed our web server is stuck. Just hangs when we try to retrieve a web page. So we suspect something went wrong with our Nginx application. Knowing this name, nginx,

Click on Change advanced power settings.4 – Expand Wireless Adapter Settings and then double click on Power Saving Mode to expand it also.Now, set Maximum performance for both On Battery and plugged in option.Method 3: Stop the Process From Task ManagerThe simplest of all the solutions is to stop the task from task manager and let it restart itself. Once it restarts, observe for a while and see if the problem is resolved or not.1. Right click on an empty space in your taskbar and then click on the Task Manager option from the right click context menu.2. By default, Task Manager would open up with the Processes tab. Under the processes tab, you have to scroll down and locate the section named Windows processes. Under Windows processes, you have to find the process named Service Host: Diagnostic Policy Service. Right click on it and then from the right click context menu, choose the option End task.3. Now you will get a UAC window asking for your confirmation on shutting down the system process Service Host: Diagnostic Policy Service. Make sure to check the checkbox Abandon unsaved data and shut down to make the Shut down button active and once it comes active, click on it.That’s it. The process will restart itself in a few seconds. Once it restarts, observe for a while and check if your problem is gone. If not, head on to the next method.Method 4: Stop the Service from Services Manager1. Bring up the Run window by pressing the keys WIN + R together. As next, in the Run command box, type in services.msc and then hit Enter key.2. Now when the Services window launches, scroll down and find the service by the name Diagnostic Policy Service. Double click on this Service listing to open its Properties window.3. We need to stop this service. For that, under the General tab, click on the Stop button as shown in the screenshot below. When you get notified that the Service has been stopped, you can press the OK button and exit.Restart your PC and check if your problem is resolved or not.Method 5: Create a Batch fileYou can also create a batch file which b stops the service and show the user a prompt to delete the folder. After that, the service starts again1 – Just copy the content given below in a notepad file@echo offecho ... Set DPS service start type to manual ...echo.sc config DPS start= demandecho.echo ...

Killing process or task from the task manager is quite simple. However, it becomes tedious when you want to kill the same process running multiple times. We already know that we can kill the process one at a time using Task Manager. However, The command prompt gives you much more control and the ability to end single or many processes at once. I often use the command line whenever I want to kill any task on my system. Because sometimes, applications do not respond whenever the system is low in its resources or takes much processing time. In such a case, you may need to kill the task/process from Task Manager. But if you have the same application with multiple processes, then in that case, you may need to kill each process manually. For example, when you open numerous Chrome browsers’ Window/Tabs, you will see multiple processes running in Task Manager. Therefore, with the help of the command line, we can easily kill the task/process quickly and easily.Whenever you open any application, it will have processes running in the background. Each process will have a unique PID Number and process name (also called an Image Name). Check the below steps that explain how you can kill the process either using process name(Image Name) or using PID Number for a particular process.Let’s find the Process Name(Image Name) or PID:First, you need to find the process name (Image Name) or PID Number for which you want to kill the process from the command line. You can get this detail from Task Manager or use the below command to list all processes.Open the Command Prompt and type the below command, and press EntertasklistFollow Below Steps to Kill Process from Command Line:To Kill process using Image Name:Step 1: Open Command Prompt in Administrator mode. Press Window Key + R key, type “cmd” in the Run Dialog box, and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to run the command as an administrator.Step 2: Type the below command in the command prompt and press Enter. It will match the process by its name and kill all associated processes.taskkill /F /IM ImageName/F parameter will kill the process forcefully without asking for user confirmation./IM parameter represents the image name (process name).To Kill process using PID:Step 1: Open Command Prompt in Administrator mode. Press Window Key + R key, type “cmd” in the Run Dialog box, and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to run the command
