Hi

Been searching but the search terms bring up so many non related items.

I need an app that can show me running apps that I can then shut down those apps from within, like a process manager.

Any suggestions?

Scott

Open terminal, write ps to display processes.
Write kill pid to kill that process. You can get the pid-number from the ps command.

Or in the terminal you can run top, which sorts by CPU use by default. Pressing k will let you input a pid to kill (look in the first column). Remember that you might need to be root to kill some processes, there's a column in top for the user as well.

If you are wishing to kill a running app (graphical), just select the window, press the power button, select "kill this app" or similar. Otherwise, I do it with ps and kill/killall
