A1) This will depend on the file system. Taking ext2/ext3 as an example, the default cluster size is 4096 bytes. So a file of 2050 bytes should take up 4kb of space. the default cluster size can be changed at the time of creation (of the file system).

Try using a "ps -ax" command at your prompt and check the list of processes.

To kill a process try "kill -9 <process_id>"

A2) every process has a unique process id which is known as PID.
two types of process -
1. foreground process
2. background process

to see the the currently running process use folowing command- and than press enter ..type
''top'' than enter.

if u want remove any process type folowing command in the prompt -
kill <process id>

and to remove all processes
''kill all'' than enter

you can use top command to view processes.It will show u all details and you can easily control processes using top.htop is even better than top.But you will have to install it separately.
