Updated todo list

To inspect active processes on WSL and find your PGPLOT process, you can use these commands:

Finding Processes

List all processes with details:

ps aux | grep -i pg

Search for PGPLOT-related processes:

ps aux | grep -i pgplot

Use pgrep to find by name pattern:

pgrep -a pgxwin

Show process tree (helps see parent-child relationships):

pstree -p | grep -i pg

Interactive process viewer:

top
# or the more user-friendly
htop

Killing the Process

Once you find the exact process name, you can kill it:

By exact name:

pkill pgxwin_server

By partial name (case-insensitive):

pkill -i pgxwin

Force kill if regular kill doesn’t work:

pkill -9 pgxwin_server

By process ID (PID):

kill <PID>
# or force kill
kill -9 <PID>

For PGPLOT Specifically

The PGPLOT X-Window server is typically called pgxwin_server (note the underscore). Try:

pgrep -a pgxwin_server
pkill pgxwin_server

If that doesn’t work, ps aux | grep pg will show you all pg-related processes and their exact names.
