Current Running Process Information Explained

In the list of Current Running Processes, there will be some information about the running process that can help find what it does. First, the Pid is the process ID on the server. This is a unique ID that can help the server identify the actively running process. This is also important if you are looking for the Id of the process you are trying to kill using the kill command. Then there is the Name. This is the name of the running process or daemon. After that, there is the File. This is the script or file that is controlling the process (essentially, the process itself). This can help to locate where the process file is located to either remove or make changes. Then there is the Current Directory, which will show you the current location that the process is running in. The Command-Line column will show the complete command that was used to initiate the process.
