Listing all the programs currently running on the system
To list all the processes currently running:
ps -axlf
(you may omit the 'a' option if you want to list only the processes owned by you, and -l if you want less information)
The most important columns are 'time' and 'RSS' which show the time used by process since it started and the amount of real memory it takes.
If you want to list just some programs, for example ``matlab'', type
ps -ax | grep matlab
Another useful utility to list running processes is 'top':
top
The info is refreshed every second or so. Type 'M' to sort by memory usage, and 'Q' to quit.
