    what all is running command ?

    what is the keyboard command in terminal to see everything that is running ? I'm using ubuntu 7.10. when i go online early in the morning, the bandwith light on my router goes crazy, so i know something is running, I would think it's just auto updates...but it goes on for a long time. thanks.

    Use the ps command with some options if you like.
    One of my favorites is
    Code:
    ps ax
    See the man pages for more info and all the options
    Code:
    man ps

    Try htop too. Its a very good process manager.
    You have to install it first.
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install htop
htop
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
