I have installed Mysql Workbench on My machine (ubuntu 14.04 LTS)

Lately this software is hanging alot. I want to kill the process

I ran the command

ps aux

but I'm unable to find the Mysql Workbench process. Please suggest me how can I find the MysqlWorkbench process instead of listing all the processes.

And is there any other faster and lighter Mysql query browser for Ubuntu ?

And yes I'm new at Ubuntu

You can also use:

pkill mysql-workbench

It's hanging for me also, so if you want to kill it and restart it, use:

pkill mysql-workbench && mysql-workbench &

(the & at the end is to do the command in the background)

Search for mysql-workbench in the processes.

$ps -ef |grep mysql-workbench
XX    8327  1159  0 12:04 ?  00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/mysql-workbench
XX    8330  8327  0 12:04 ?  00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/catchsegv /usr/lib/mysql-workbench/mysql-workbench-bin

2nd column will have the process ID to kill. In this case 8327. It will also stop the 2nd line.

Regarding the options: -ef options help us to list all processes (-e) using full-format syntax (-f)

And is there any other faster and lighter Mysql query browser for Ubuntu ?

See but I doubt they will be as good.
