Question #77693 on apt in ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+question/77693

Tom proposed the following answer:
Hmmm, i'm not sure what you mean by system either.  Perhaps try typing
this into a terminal console

ps aux

that should give a list of all the processes running on your machine at
that moment.  you can search for a particular proces by "piping it
through grep" as follows

ps aux | grep firefox

will show at least 2 processes that have "firefox" in their title.
Firefox which is open anyway and also the grep'd command itself lol.
It's quite handy for finding out a processes id sometimes as that will
keep changing each time the process is started.

I'm not sure that's really what you were asking for tho
Good luck again
Tom :)
