However, sometimes when my system slows down, I can only access information if I ctrl-alt-f1 to a terminal and use the command line. Is there a good command line command that will give cpu usage information and the process id for whatever is using the cpu?
I use ps ax to look at my processes, but I haven't been able to figure out how to show much cpu each process may be using on the command line.
Same thing for memory. I use free for showing the amount of free memory, but what command gives the process id and memory that it is using at the same time?
Try "top".
That's it - that's what I was looking for. Thanks! -- G.O.
