This video guides a Virtuozzo VPS administrator through the steps needed to manage system processes using Power Panel.

The video focuses on the System Processes screen, first showing the user how to access the screen in Power Panel. System Processes displays a graphical list of active process for the VPS containing information such as the process identifier, central processor and memory usage, and the command that spawned the process. An administrator clicks a check box to select one or more running process. The tutorial shows the six Linux signals that are available via a drop-down menu and may be issued to any selected process.

The lesson briefly explains the impact of sending each signal. The signals vary in severity from suspending or resuming a given process to killing it immediately without allowing any opportunity to perform a graceful termination. For less severe cases, the target process can recognize the signal and take corresponding action. The tutorial walks through an example of marking a specific executing process, picking the signal to stop the process, and clicking the button to send the signal.

The demonstration concludes by showing the Virtuozzo VPS administrator how to return to the top Power Panel screen.
