You can find a process by its name in Linux using the ps
and grep
commands.
Here’s an example of how to find a process by its name:
ps -ef | grep process-name
The ps -ef
command lists all running processes on the system, and the grep
command filters the output to show only the lines that contain the string “process-name”.
You can also use the pgrep
command to find a process by its name:
pgrep process-name
The pgrep
command will display the process IDs of all processes that match the name “process-name”.
Note: The grep
and pgrep
commands are case-sensitive, so you’ll need to specify the name of the process exactly as it appears in the ps
output.
