There are several ways to check running processes in Ubuntu Linux using the command line. Here are a few common methods:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. ps<\/code> command: The ps<\/code> command is used to display information about the current running processes. You can use the ps aux<\/code> command to display all processes running on the system, along with their user, pid and other details.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \n
    <\/div>\n
    ps aux
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      \n
    1. top<\/code> command: The top<\/code> command provides an ongoing look at the processes running on a system, including their CPU and memory usage. Use top<\/code> command to check the running process in real time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
      <\/div>\n
      top<\/span>
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
        \n
      1. htop<\/code> command: The htop<\/code> command is similar to the top<\/code> command, but it provides a more user-friendly interface with additional features such as highlighting the process using the most resources and allowing you to interactively kill processes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
        <\/div>\n
        htop
        \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
          \n
        1. pgrep<\/code> command: The pgrep<\/code> command is used to search for processes based on their name. You can use it to find the process ID (PID) of a specific process. For example, to find the PID of the process named ‘apache2’:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
          <\/div>\n
          pgrep apache2
          \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
            \n
          1. pkill<\/code> command: The pkill<\/code> command is used to signal a process based on its name. For example, to send the TERM signal to the process named ‘Apache2’:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
            <\/div>\n
            pkill -TERM Apache2
            \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

            You can use any of these command as per your requirement, it depends on the details you need to see and the way you want to see it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
