htop is a good task manager. At least for me.

On the terminal, all the various "modern" replacements for `top` (btop, htop, bottom [mentioned in an earlier comment], etc.) are all really great. Many are almost on-par with their graphical counterparts these days.

switch to another tty(ctrl+alt+(f1..f12)), log in and launch htop from there.

Unless you are dealing with a kernel panic, this will work.

What no_time said is the answer. Me personally, I always have it running so that I can see what is running.
