Well, you could start by eliminating the system process run by root, lp, etc. Like this:

ps -ef |grep -v root |grep -v lp |grep -v daemon

Then, from the resulting list, you can see which others you want to eliminate and add more "grep -v" statements to do so.

I recommend the use of two utilities: lsof and pstree . Whith lsof you can see lots of options of processes and also the port the processes use . Pstree shows the tree structure of the process , Both are really interesting.

I recommend Glance...if you don't have it, you can install the demo off your Application CD's and use it for 30 days.


Just another option,

Hi,

Usually specific application has some specific name for the processes it generates. For Ex. for oracle you can see #ps -aef|grep -i ora, for SAP use can see #ps -aef|grep -i dw and so on. this way you can found applications running on your system.

HTH,
