4, the /bin/ksh command.If the listing is very long, the top portion scrolls off the screen. To display the listing one page (screen) at a time, pipe the ps command to the pg command. At the prompt, type the following: ps -ef | pg
To display status information of all processes running on your system, at the prompt, type the following: ps gv
This form of the command lists a number of statistics for each active process. Output from this command looks similar to the following: PID TTY STAT TIME PGIN SIZE RSS LIM TSIZ TRS %CPU %MEM COMMAND

You can list running processes using the ps command (ps means process status). The ps command displays your currently running processes in real-time.
Which command is used to show active process?
Any time the system is running, processes are also running. You can use the ps command to find out which processes are running and display information about those processes.
What are 2 commands to display the content of a text file in Linux?
You can also use the cat command to display the contents of one or more files on your screen. Combining the cat command with the pg command allows you to read the contents of a file one full screen at a time. You can also display the contents of files by using input and output redirection.
