FW: [Malvern] Running Services

[Ian Pascoe]

Hi

I have a problem with Orca on the Gnome desktop and I'm trying to find out
which TTS engine(s) is running.  It was suggested that by looking at which
services were running would establish this.

'ps -ef' will list all processes that are running, but you might want to
pipe that through less ('ps -ef|less') as it will usually be more than a
screen's worth. Note that services such as inetd (or xinetd) may,
themselves. run other services 'on demand' when incoming connections are
received.

I suspect there's more to this question than simply getting a list of all
running services, so what is the real problem you are trying to solve?
