I used the command ps aux. I think that lists ALL processes. I usually use grep to filter them out. This is what I got tho: r...@smoker / # ps aux | grep bash dale 7254 0.0 0.0 3044 572 ?

I did this in a Konsole within KDE. I don't got to a actual Console to much. Note the K and the C on those. Dale :-) :-)
