Using ps to list running processes
Hello everyone, what is the proper command that I can use in terminal to list all running processes and their ID so that I can kill things that are behaving?

I used to do ps -aux I think... but that doesn't seem to work for me...

Any help appreciated!

It's usually only a good idea to kill processes that are misbehaving.

What's wrong with using Activity Monitor (/Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor)?
