Column	Description
Pid	The process identity. This a unique number that is assigned to any process running on your server. You may click the process ID number to access 2 options: trace or kill the selected process.
Owner	The user or system account that started and owns the corresponding process.
Priority	This is a number between -20 and 20 which tells how much time the system spends working on the process. -20 is the least CPU intensive, while 20 is the most.
Cpu%	The percentage of your server’s processing power that the process is using.
Mem%	The percentage of RAM (memory) that the process is using on your server.
Command	Specifies the directory from which the CPU is receiving instructions.

Tracing a process allows you to observe and control the process as it executes. You may trace a process from the WHM interface.

Trace the process

Click the process ID corresponding to the process you would like to trace.
Click Trace.

Kill Processes by User

To kill all processes running under a certain user:

Select the user from the Kill all processes by user pull-down menu.
Click the Kill user's processes button.

Killing a process forcefully closes the daemon. This may be necessary, if for example, the process is being exploited or is consuming too many resources.

Kill the process

Click the process ID corresponding to the process you would like to kill.
Click Kill.
