On the Process Information page for a selected process, you can view information about the process; issue a SIGTERM, SIGKILL, or SIGHUP signal to kill the process; or send a custom signal. The process information is obtained from the stat file that is available for the process ID in the /proc directory. Process information can also be retrieved at the command line by using the Linux top command.
To view process information, click Manage Linux > View Process Information, then click the name link of the process.
