To view the processes started with the nohup command in Linux, you can use the following command:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Use the ps command in conjunction with grep to filter the process list and find processes containing your username and the nohup command.<\/li>\n
  2. List all processes running with your username that also have “nohup” in their command.<\/li>\n
  3. For example, if your username is user1, you can execute the following command:<\/li>\n
  4. List all running processes for user1 that are using the nohup command.<\/li>\n
  5. This will list the processes containing your username and the nohup command.<\/li>\n
  6. Use the pgrep command to find the process ID (PID) of a process by combining the process name (usually the name of the program being executed) with your username.<\/li>\n
  7. List all the processes with the username and process name specified.<\/li>\n
  8. For example, if your username is user1 and your process name is my_process, you can run the following command:<\/li>\n
  9. Find the process ID of the process named “my_process” running as user “user1”.<\/li>\n
  10. This will output the PID of the process that matches the given process name and username.<\/li>\n
  11. Use the ps command to find processes that include your username and the nohup command, and filter out your processes using the process status (STAT).<\/li>\n
  12. Show the Process ID, Parent Process ID, Command and Status of all processes running under your username, then filter the results to only display processes with “nohup” in the command.<\/li>\n
  13. For example, if your username is user1, you can execute the following command:<\/li>\n
  14. Display the processes with the specified user, showing the process ID, parent process ID, command, and status. Then filter the results to show only processes containing “nohup”.<\/li>\n
  15. This will list the processes that contain your username and the nohup command, displaying their PID, parent process ID (PPID), command, and status.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Regardless of the method you use, you will be able to view the process that was started in Linux using the nohup command.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
