The following command can be used in MySQL to display a list of processes:

  1. To open the MySQL client, you can use the following command to login to the MySQL server:
mysql -u username -p

The username is your MySQL username.

  1. Enter the password to log into the MySQL server.
  2. Use the following command to view the list of processes:
SHOW PROCESSLIST;

This will display a list of all active processes on the current MySQL server, including information such as ID, user, host, database, command, and status for each process.

  1. If you only want to view the process list of a specific user, you can use the following command:
SHOW PROCESSLIST
WHERE User = 'username';

The username is the MySQL user you want to view.

  1. If you only want to view the process list of a specific database, you can use the following command:
SHOW PROCESSLIST
WHERE Db = 'database';

Where database is the MySQL database you want to view.

Please note that the above command needs to be run in the context of a user with the appropriate permissions in order to view all processes. If you do not have enough permissions, you may not be able to view all processes.
