ps - process status
Inspecting process details using ps
In this short, we can see that the initial run of the
ps
command
only return the grep
process, because it was the only one
matching the expression. However, upon running the sleep
command
(in the background using the & symbol), we are able to see
that the sleep
command also shows up in the process list,
matching the pid (process id) of the
sleep
call, which is shown next to [1].
