View the active jobs and see the job ID jobs
jobs Facts: job ID specific to the terminal session Each terminal has its own set of jobs Jobs from one terminal cannot be managed from a second terminal using job ID numbers
Send a job to the background bg [job ID]
Bring a job to the foreground fg [job ID]
Pause a job (send to background) and give it a job ID number Ctrl+z
Start a command with a higher or lower priority nice
nice value range (highest - lowest priority) 19 (lowest priority) - -20 (highest priority)
Specify a priority (with nice command) nice -n e.g. nice -n 7 gedit
Default nice value (if no value specified with nice command) -10
Default nice value for processes NOT executed with the nice command 0 (Zero)
Assign a NEW priority to a process that has already started using the PID of the process renice
renice Options: Specifies a priority (but assumed by default) renice -n
renice Options: Specify a user (root only renice -u
renice Options: Specify a group (root only) renice -g
Lower the priority of all processes owned by user userbob to 5 below the default (zero) renice 5 -u userbob

List all signals available to the kill command kill -l
Terminate a process using the process name (can also use the SIGNAL commands) killall e.g. killall sshd
Elevate the kill command to highest PRIORITY ( -20) and then invoke a hard kill to stop the process 6754 kill -n20 6754
