Abstract

When working with Linux, from an administrative perspective, working with processes is important. Every application or task you start on a Linux computer is started as a process. You will find that in some instances, a task may hang, or something else may happen that urges you to do some process management. In this chapter, you will learn how to monitor and manage processes. You will also learn how to schedule processes for automatic startup.
