I seem to have gotten myself into a situation where a Firefox process will not die nor will it display anything. (The problem seems to have something to do with You Tube.) When I try to start up another instance of Firefox, I get an error message that tells me to either close the current process or to reboot the system. Rebooting is not a good solution. I remember from the 'old days' that there is a cli command to identify a process id and another one to kill a process. I've searched my memory and the User Manual but cannot identify those two commands. Any assistance will be sincerely appreciated.
I think the command you are looking for is 'top' ie executed from an unprivleged user: $> top This will give you a listing of the processes and their pid' although with the update frequency set high, it is difficult to identify the correct pid as the lines of the displayed processes keep changing. Rather use one of the other post' recommendations.
