Using top to kill running programs

[Rnehora]

When i run "top" will it show everything that is running? If not how do i get it to show everything? Can i sort tasks by the users that are doing them?

Typing "ps aux" will show you all processes that are running as well as who is running what process.

top will show as much as the screen size allows (usually 17 processes, far fewer than most systems normally use). You can only show as many as the screen fits. You can sort tasks by users - hit u and then enter in the username. Hit ? for more details on all the keys you can do (like killing a process is k, then you tell it what PID to kill and then what signal to send it).
