How to determine which process owns a window or notification in OS X
How can I determine which process owns a window or notification in OS X, like I can in Windows with Process Monitor or Process Explorer?
Activity Monitor is GUI utility that's easiest to look up.
It basically combines the functionality of several command line tools into one easy interface.
top <-- similar to Activity Monitor
ps <-- shows processes
lsof <-- list open files and the process it's connected to
dtrace
netstat <-- network
systemstats
there's other's too

I am familiar with Activity Monitor. I looked at Activity Monitor to see if it had that functionality.
If someone asked me this question about Windows, I would say:
1. Download Process Explorer from https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx and run it.
4. Drag the toolbar icon that looks like a target, and drop it on the window or dialog in question, and the process that owns the window will be highlighted in blue.
So, let me rephrase the question:
How can I determine which process owns a window or notification in OS X using Activity Monitor?
Thanks!
