When working with web servers (such as Tomcat, Apache, etc.) their processes are usually started in the background and cannot be easily closed by Ctrl+C or the Close-Button in GUIs. This goes for both the development process on a developer's workstation, as well as directly on the server in test or production. In Windows based systems those processes can be easily found in the process manager that can be accessed via the GUI. In Unix based systems (Linux, MacOSX) such a GUI doesn't always exist (especially on the server) or is sometimes hard to find.

A keylogger is a type of surveillance software (considered to be either software or spyware) that has the capability to record every keystroke you make to a log file, usually encrypted. A keylogger recorder can record instant messages, e-mail, and any information you type at any time using your keyboard. The log file created by the keylogger can then be sent to a specified receiver. Some keylogger programs will also record any e-mail addresses you use and Web site URLs you visit.
