Strange (?) linux thingy by Pic2003-05-24 14:05:51
  ps is the command your looking for. by Avium 2003-05-24 14:34:56
That or killall but killall is different on different *NIX operating systems. On Linux killall bash will work, on Solaris killall is the last command in the shutdown sequence as it stops all running processes. Not a good thing to run in the middle of the afternoon on a system with 13 active users.

ps -efa | grep bash (Look at the man pages of the ps and grep commands. They are two of the most used *NIX commands) will get you a list of all bash processes running. The first number is the process id (pid), the second number is the parent process id. You should be able to work it out from there. ;-)

By the way, this is not normal behaviour. There must be something left hanging around after you log out. You might want to try looking through the process tree to find out what is running after you log in and what gets left behind after a log out.
