Linux中的ps命令是Process Status的缩写。ps命令用来列出系统中当前运行的那些进程。ps命令列出的是当前那些进程的快照,就是执行ps命令的那个时刻的那些进程,如果想要动态的显示进程信息,就可以使用top命令。

ps 为我们提供了进程的一次性的查看,它所提供的查看结果并不动态连续的;如果想对进程时间监控,应该用 top 工具。

kill 命令用于杀死进程。


linux上进程有5种状态: 






ps工具标识进程的5种状态码:

D 不可中断 uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)

R 运行 runnable (on run queue)

S 中断 sleeping

T 停止 traced or stopped

Z 僵死 a defunct (”zombie”) process


ps

ps -aux

...



  • ps 后的 stat列,有如下:Ss+ ,SN,S<,Ssl不知道是什么意思?


PROCESS STATE CODES
Here are the different values that the s, stat and state output specifiers
(header "STAT" or "S") will display to describe the state of a process.
D Uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)
R Running or runnable (on run queue)
S Interruptible sleep (waiting for an event to complete)
T Stopped, either by a job control signal or because it is being traced.
W paging (not valid since the 2.6.xx kernel)
X dead (should never be seen)
Z Defunct ("zombie") process, terminated but not reaped by its parent.

For BSD formats and when the stat keyword is used, additional characters may
be displayed:
< high-priority (not nice to other users)
N low-priority (nice to other users)
L has pages locked into memory (for real-time and custom IO)
s is a session leader
l is multi-threaded (using CLONE_THREAD, like NPTL pthreads do)
+ is in the foreground process group
