Finding Unwanted Process

1 . I want to verify the unwanted running process? is there any other

command other than ps -ef ?

2. Can anybody tell me the difference for kill & pkill?

3. Suppose if i'm kill a process using kill command whether that

particular process can be restarted or not ?

4. Suppose if i'm kill a process using pkill command whether that

particular process can be restarted or not ?

Any help

Thanks in advance

1. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=lsof&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-82.man pkill (and wherever it says 'pattern' in the man page, read 'string' or'program name' for now.) See the examples at the end.

Also, just a little hint if you're coming from Linux...

Don't... For the love of God... Use the "killall" command.

Really... Do not...

On Solaris this works -completely- different from the Linux "killall" command. On Solaris it literally does that: it kills -all- processes, including Init.

So... Just so you know... Don't

for kill you specify a process by process id egkill -TERM 123with pkill you specify the name of the running program.pkill -TERM httpdYou really should read the man pages for the 2 commands.
