CDE Process Manager
New in Solaris 8 is CDE Process Manager, sdtprocess, a graphical Common Desktop Environment (CDE) tool that provides a Process Manager window for monitoring and controlling system processes.
The advantage of using Process Manager is that you can view and control processes without knowing all the complex options associated with the ps and kill commands. For example, you can display processes that contain specific character strings, and you can sort the process list alphabetically or numerically. You can initiate a search using the find command, or you can terminate a process simply by highlighting it and clicking kill.
To open Process Manager, you need to log into the CDE windowing environment. You can start the GUI either by executing the command sdtprocess as follows: sdtprocess &
or click Find Process on the front panel Tools subpanel, as shown in Figure 9.1.
The Process Manager window opens as shown in Figure 9.2.
