How do I see more of the command line with the KDE System Guard Process Table

Question

I often have several java programs running and I can't tell which one needs to be killed. The command section of the process table only shows java, but doesn't tell me which jar or class files it is running. Edit: Is there a way to see more of the command call from withing KSysGuard?

Answer 1

1. ps aux | grep java
2. You look for the Process ID(PID) of the process you want and then you use kill command (for how to use kill read my post here)

Also read: here and here and here

An alternative: ps -fp $(pgrep -d, -x java) or you might use htop or top and search for java

Answer 2

A GUI alternative to Ksysguard is qps. It's perhaps less visually appealing that ksysguard, but it shows a lot more information, including the whole command line.

Answer 3

You want the wide output option "w". Using it three times will allow unlimited width.
