    A process is a job in execution. There is a program called scheduler always running in memory which decides which process should get the cpu time and when. Only one process will be executed at a time,because the system has only one processor.

    Process oriented commands
     A process is a job in execution.

     There is a program called scheduler always running


    in memory which decides which process should get
    the cpu time and when.

     Only one process will be executed at a time,because


    the system has only one processor.
     Ps
    This command is used to know which process is
    running at our terminal.

    General format is,


    ps –a:this command lists the processes of all the
    users who are logged on the system.

    ps-t <terminal_name>:this command lists the


    processes ,which are running on the specified
    terminal. <terminal_name>.
     Ps –u<user name>:

    This command lists the processes, which are running


    for running for specified user-<username>.

     Ps –x:this command lists the system processes.

    Apart from the processes that are generated by the


    user,there are some processes that keep on running
    all the time.these processes are called system
    processes .
    Examples:
    $ps
    $ps –a
    Background processing
     Linux provides the facility for background processing.
     when one process is running in the
    foreground,another process can be executed in the
    background.

    Example:
    $sort emp.doc&

    By the execution of this command a number is


    displayed..this is called PID(process identification
    number).
     Kill
    If you want a command to terminate prematurely
    press[ctrl+c].

    This type of interrupt characters doesnot affect the


    background processes because the background
    processes are protected by shell from these
    interrupt signals.

    This kill command is used to terminate a background


    process,
    General format,
    Kill [-signal Number] <PID>
    Examples:

    $skill 120
    This command terminate the process who has the PID
    120.

    $kill -9 130
    $kill -9 0
    This command kills the processes including the login
    shell.
     Nohup

    If a user wants a process that he has executed not to


    die even when he logged out from the system you
    can use this nohup command.
    Normally all the processes of a user are terminated if
    he logs out.
    General format is,

    Nohup <command>&
     Batch

    This command is used to execute the specified


    commands when the system load permits (when cpu
    becomes nearly free).

    General format is,


    batch
    <commands>
    ^d
    Any job scheduled with batch also goes to the at queue
    ,you can list or delete them through atq and atrm
    respectively.
