Learning Fedora and Red Hat. Archiving with Gzip and Tar. File and directory permissions. Listing and terminating processes. There are a number of useful commands for dealing with processes. One of them is called top. This command lists, in an continually-updated way, the processes running on the system and has an inbuilt facility to a kill a particular process.

At now 1 hour. To set up batch instructions, simply type:.
