Linux Commands - ps command - show all running processes (-e -A ax)

Updated:   |  Linux Commands articles

There are many processes that do not run in a shell. For example, the init or systemd or upstart daemon does not run in a users shell, which is why a ? is displayed under the TTY column in the following example. The -A or -e or ax option can be used to view all processes.

[john.doe@server1 ]# ps -e
 PID  TTY        TIME  CMD
   1  ?      00:00:02  systemd
   2  ?      00:00:00  kthreadd
   3  ?      00:00:01  ksoftirqd/0
