I don't think so. In linux you get all the processes with ps -ax.
There are, however, a lot more options. You might read the manual page
with `man ps' :)
If you are running xdm (get an X-Windows login screen to login right
away after starting your PC) the way to stop it is
- switch to a virtual console, e.g. by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 (*)
- login as root
- stop xdm by typing /etc/init.d/xdm stop
- do your configuring
- check your new configuration with startx (don't use xdm for testing,
it is much harder to stop if things go really wrong)
- if it works, exit the Xsession
- restart xdm typing /etc/init.d/xdm start
(*) This is not mandatory, but more convenient.
Read every document you can find on configuring X beforehand.
It is not bad idea to create a runlevel that does not start xdm, in case
to have to reset when _really_ screwing up X. Anyone know why such a
run-level isn't defined by default?
Hope this helps,
