The ps command in Linux is the abbreviation of Process Status. The ps command is used to list the processes currently running on the system. The ps command lists the snapshots of the current processes, which are the processes at the moment when the ps command is executed. If you want to dynamically display process information, you can use the top command.

To monitor and control the process, you must first understand the situation of the current process, that is, you need to view the current process, and the ps command is the most basic and very powerful process viewing command. Use this command to determine which processes are running and their running status, whether the process has ended, whether the process has died, which processes are occupying too many resources, and so on. In short, most of the information can be obtained by executing this command.

ps provides us with a one-time view of the process, but the view results it provides are not dynamic and continuous; if you want to monitor the process time, you should use the top tool.

kill command is used to kill the process.


There are 5 states of processes on Linux:

1. Running (running or waiting in the run queue)

2. Interrupt (sleeping, blocked, waiting for a certain condition to form or receive a signal)

3. Uninterruptible (no wake-up and no runnability after receiving a signal, the process must wait until an interrupt occurs)

4. Zombie (the process has terminated, but the process descriptor exists until the parent process calls the wait4() system call and is released)

5. Stop (the process receives SIGSTOP, SIGSTP, SIGTIN, SIGTOU signals Stop running after running)


The 5 status codes of the ps tool identifying the process:

D uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)

R run runnable (on run queue)

S ​​interrupt sleeping

T stop traced or stopped

Z zombie a defunct ("zombie") process

Description:

Example 4: Commonly used combinations of ps and grep to find specific processes

Command:

ps -ef|grep ssh

Output:

[root@localhost test6]# ps -ef|grep ssh
root      2720     1  0 Nov02 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/sshd
root     17394  2720  0 14:58 ?        00:00:00 sshd: root@pts/0 
root     17465 17398  0 15:57 pts/0    00:00:00 grep ssh

Instructions:

Example 5: List the PID and related information that currently belongs to you for this login

Command:

ps -l

Output:

[root@localhost test6]# ps -l
F S   UID   PID  PPID  C PRI  NI ADDR SZ WCHAN  TTY          TIME CMD
4 S     0 17398 17394  0  75   0 - 16543 wait   pts/0    00:00:00 bash
4 R     0 17469 17398  0  77   0 - 15877 -      pts/0    00:00:00 ps

Description:

The meaning of each related information:

F represents the flag of this program, 4 represents the user as super user

S ​​represents the status (STAT) of this program. The meaning of each STAT will be introduced in the text.

UID The program is owned by the UID.

PID is the ID of this program. !

PPID is the ID of its superior parent program

The percentage of resources used by C CPU

PRI is the abbreviation of Priority (Priority Execution Order), which will be introduced in detail later

NI This is the Nice value. We will continue to introduce it in the next section.

ADDR This is the kernel function, indicating which part of the memory the program is in. If it is a running program, it is usually "-"

SZ The memory size used

WCHAN Is the program currently running? If it is -, it means it is running

TTY The login's terminal location

TIME The CPU time used.

Why is the command issued by CMD


By default, ps will only list the PID related to the current bash shell. So, when I use ps -l, there are only three PIDs.
