Process management
killing process may lead to data corruption - ctrl+Z -> Paused jobs background & jobs %1 - switch back to foreground for job #1 %2 - bg 1 -> Paused apps runs in background. fg 1 -> Brings the app to foreground. Deprioritize the process - you don't have to kill the process. "nice"ness value - 0 is default. -20 to +19 ( minus 20 - TOP priority, usually kernel process like kworker ) #nice -n 11 vim /file1.txt ( setting priority when starting process ) NI -> 'NI'ceness value. #renice -n 11 1234 -> changes the priority of the running process #pgrep vim ( shows all process id linked to "vim") #killall firefox ( kills all copies for 'firefox' process and their child process )
