Hey guys, welcome back. In this video we're gonna be talking about processes, what
they are, and how you can manage them. So, if you've ever opened up the task
manager in Windows, you would see a list of running applications, or processes. The
same thing is true for Linux, basically a process is just an application that is
running. And so we can get an idea of what kind of processes run on a
Linux machine by using the command "top". So, if we run this it'll show the top of the
list of running applications. It's real time so if we start new applications, it's
going to see these process in here. So, I don't want to go through every single column
here, but what I do want to mention are the most important things. The "PID" is the
process ID and you can use this to manage that process. The "USER" is who the
application is running as. You can see how long an application's been open, and also the
command that's associated with the process. And, as always you can you
CTRL + C to escape that.
