  2. Checking system activity • To list running processes and monitoring system usage: • a option ask to show process of all users who are associated with your current terminal • u option asks that user names be shown , as well as other information such as the time process started and CPU usage. • VSZ (virtual set size)  size of image process(in kilobytes). • RSS(resident set size) size of program in memory.

  3. Checking system activity • To see and monitor all the processes running on the system : use spacebar to page through , and q to end the list

  4. Checking system activity • To stop any process by PID i.e. to kill process • To stop all process except your shell
