To view information about running processes, you can use the following command:

  1. View process information using the ps command.
ps aux

This command will display detailed information about all processes currently running on the system, including the PID, user, CPU usage, and memory usage of each process.

  1. Monitor process information in real time using the top command.
top

This command will display real-time information about the processes running in the system, sorted by CPU usage. Pressing the “q” key on the keyboard will exit the top command.

  1. View process information using the htop command.
htop

htop is an interactive process viewer that provides a more intuitive display of the processes running on the system. Pressing the “q” key on the keyboard will allow you to exit the htop command.

With the above commands, you can easily view information about the processes running in the system and stay informed about the system’s overall performance.
