What is Process Management?
Linux treats every running program as a process. Process management commands help view, control, and manipulate these processes. Key commands: ps aux shows running processes, top provides live system view, kill -SIGTERM pid gracefully stops processes, kill -SIGKILL pid forcefully terminates processes. Essential for understanding and controlling Linux system operations effectively.
