HOWTO: Monitor Processes Using the pstree Command

by Jon on May 3rd, 2006

This is one of the neatest commands in GNU/Linux. The simple command pstree will show you all of the processes running on your machine in a hierarchical format starting with the uber parent process, init.

There are command-line options you can feed pstree, but I’ve never used them because the default output is so useful and pleasing to the eye.

Try it. You’ll like it.
