Overview
This interface shows you all active processes on your server. You can trace a process to observe it in action or terminate it if it's consuming too many resources or behaving unexpectedly.
Displayed Information
- Pid: Unique process ID assigned by the system.
- Owner: The user or system account that started the process.
- Priority: A value between –20 (high priority) and 19 (low priority) that determines execution order.
- CPU%: How much CPU power the process is using.
- Memory%: How much RAM the process is using.
- Command: The command or path that initiated the process.
Terminate Processes by User
- Choose the user from the “Kill all processes by user” menu.
- Click Kill user’s processes to terminate all their processes at once.
This is useful for quickly stopping all resource-heavy processes from a single user, including those triggered by malicious activity.
Terminate a Single Process
To kill a specific process, click the Kill link found next to it in the process list.
This is helpful when you see a single misbehaving or unstable process draining resources.
Trace a Process
Click the Trace link next to any process to monitor it as it runs. Tracing lets you see what the process is doing in real time—and even interact with it if needed.
Summary
- Process Manager lets you see, trace, and kill server processes easily.
- Key data includes process ID, owner, priority, CPU & memory usage, and command.
- You can kill all processes for a user or terminate individual ones directly.
- Tracing a process gives live insight into its activity.
