px — list running processes and show process metadata

       The  px  utility lists processes running on the system, to the standard output.  If stdout is a terminal,
       output will be truncated at terminal window width.

       Without any arguments, px lists all processes on the system.

       If you specify a filter the output will contain only processes matching that filter.

       The filter can be a user name or part of a command line. For  example,  ‘px  java’  will  list  all  Java
       processes, and ‘px root’ will list all of root's processes.

       Running pxPID will show you information about a given process:

       •   The process tree; parents and children

       •   Start time, run time and CPU usage

       •   List of other processes started around the same time as this one

       •   List of users logged in when the process was started

       •   Where stdin, stdout and stderr is pointing

       •   Network connections

       •   IPC  connections  (sockets, pipes and local network connections) and which processes are at the other
           end of those

       px — list running processes and show process metadata

px tries to be helpful about naming processes, and avoid printing names of various VMs.

       For example, if you do ‘java -jar foo.jar’, px will show this process as ‘foo.jar’ rather than ‘java’.

       px parses command lines from:

       •   Java

       •   Python

       •   Node

       •   Ruby

       •   Various shells

       •   Perl
