ps aux |grep plasma

or perhaps it was not running, then:
  kstart5 plasmashell
Hmmm when I tried this restart of the plasmashell I got a lot of warning/error messages! Not knowing how to grok these, should I be worried that something is terribly wrong with this system?

Note: I was unable to run these commands as root, I get the following error message if I try -

# kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell
"Application plasmashell could not be found using service org.kde.plasmashell and path /MainApplication."

This did not help with the system slowdowns I am experiencing on one of my systems either.

Any more ideas, I appreciate the thoughts given , thank you.  Marc
