tasklist? taskkill?

Linux equivs?

If you want a full list of processes running:

$ ps -A

If you want to search for a specific process running:

$ ps -aux | grep <proccess_name>

And if you want to kill a process the "unclean" way:

$ killall -9 <process_name>

That's how I know to do it, anyway.  Some of the more linux-literate people may know better ways.

ps - Lists processes
ps -aux - Lists all processes
kill - Kills process, you need to get the PID from ps.
kill - 9 - If kill fails, this is the "unclean" way like Sidoh said.
top - Lists processes and CPU/Mem usages in realtime

Front-ends(?)
Ksysguard - For KDE
System Monitor - For Gnome

$ ps -aux lists all processes with a bunch of fancy information!

$ ps -A is a plain list of processes, but I guess that's not very useful.

Beautiful, you stole my answer!

Well I don't use Gnome so I don't care

"top" is probably what you're looking for

[Krazed]

tasklist = top, or ps -aux (That's what I always did.)

kill PID (Process ID) would end a program while following the program's closing procedure, sends the "SIGTERM" signal.

kill -9 PID would end a program with the "SIGKILL" signal, which instantly kills it, without caring what the program has to say about it or wants to do before closing.

[iago]

"top" can do all of those, and more.  And is easier to use.  But yes, those are also useful programs

[Ergot]

Wow I never knew top could kill...

[Krazed]

I've never used top, so eh.

Ah...I remember, I think it was Newby, who said "Windows is like 'please stop running now' but Linux is like 'DIE BITCH!'".

LMFAO

Haha, yeah, a non-root process can't catch/discard SIGKILL.  However, a process running as root can, and a process in kernel mode ignores it. 

If you're reading from a harddrive that crashes, so that it gets stuck in an infinite loop in kernel mode, you can't kill it either.
