what is the process number of a "running application" ?

Monday, 12 January 2015

Hi,

I would like to know the process number of an application that actually is
running (Netbeans in my case), with the purpose to kill it (when is froze).

But am am not able to know this process number..

- In the window of gnome-system-monitor the name "netbeans" isn't.
- The command line : "ps aux | grep netbeans",  give me a full page of
references..

Could I know a simple way to have this information ?

Thank you
Regards

Angelo
