Name

ps - list currently running processes

Synopsis

$ ps [--version] [-a] [-A] [-e] [-f] [-p pid-list] [--ppid pid-list] [-q pid-list] [-t tty-list] [-u user-list]

Description

Print a list of currently running processes in the current TTY. For each process, print its PID (process ID), to which TTY it belongs, and invoking commandline (CMD).

Options

  • -a: Consider all processes that are associated with a TTY.
  • -A or -e: Consider all processes, not just those in the current TTY.
  • -f: Also print for each process: UID (as resolved username), PPID (parent PID), and STATE (Runnable, Sleeping, Selecting, Reading, etc.)
  • -p pid-list: Select processes matching any of the given PIDs. pid-list is a list of PIDs, separated by commas or spaces.
  • --ppid pid-list: Select processes whose PPID matches any of the given PIDs. pid-list is a list of PIDs, separated by commas or spaces.
  • -q pid-list: Only consider the given PIDs, if they exist. Output the processes in the order provided by pid-list. pid-list is a list of PIDs, separated by commas or spaces.
  • -t tty-list: Select processes associated with any of the given terminals. tty-list is a list of short TTY names (e.g: pts:0) or the full TTY device paths, separated by commas or spaces.
  • -u user-list: Select processes matching any of the given UIDs. user-list is a list of UIDs or login names, separated by commas or spaces.

Examples
