Listing and Finding Processes

Linux processes can be monitored using the proc virtual filesystem and commands like ps, top, and htop. Use ps -ef for process snapshots, top/htop for real-time views. The /proc directory contains detailed process information. View specific process details with cat /proc/{PID}/status. Essential for system performance monitoring and troubleshooting.
