Sometimes I need to kill a process and for that purpose I enter htop
, search (/
) for some string and then intend to kill the associated process.
The problem is that usually the processes are in motion (due to new processes being added and attributes changing) - so by the time I pressed F9 and went on with "killing" the process the selected process is already a different one.
Is there a way to handle this?
The reason why I use htop is of course b/c I sometimes have to guess which is the right process to get rid of and just a string is not sufficient for identification.
