How to view server process information?

To view server process information, you can use command-line tools depending on the operating system.

On Linux/Unix-based systems:

1. ps command: Displays currently running processes.
   • Example: ps aux shows all processes with details like CPU and memory usage.
2. top or htop: Provides a real-time view of processes, sorted by resource usage.
   • Example: top updates dynamically, while htop (if installed) offers a more interactive interface.
3. pidof or pgrep: Finds the process ID (PID) of a specific application.
   • Example: pidof nginx returns the PID of the Nginx process.

On Windows systems:

1. Task Manager: GUI tool to view and manage processes. Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open it.
2. tasklist command: Lists all running processes in the Command Prompt.
   • Example: tasklist | findstr "chrome" filters processes related to Chrome.
3. Get-Process in PowerShell: Provides detailed process information.
   • Example: Get-Process | Sort-Object CPU -Descending lists processes by CPU usage.

For cloud servers (e.g., virtual machines on Tencent Cloud), you can access the server via SSH (Linux) or RDP (Windows) and use the above commands. Tencent Cloud also provides Cloud Monitor to track process-related metrics and Serverless Cloud Function for event-driven process management without managing servers directly.
