Which command displays the currently running processes in Linux?

The command that displays the currently running processes in Linux is "ps." This command provides a snapshot of current processes, showing information such as process ID (PID), terminal associated with the process, CPU and memory usage, and the command that initiated the process. By default, "ps" may only show processes for the current user and the current shell session unless specific options are used to display more information.

While "top" and "htop" also display running processes, they provide a dynamic, real-time view that updates regularly, along with additional system information. "jobs" is used within shell sessions to display processes that were started in the current shell and are in the background or stopped, but does not show all running processes. Therefore, "ps" is the most straightforward command for obtaining an immediate list of processes running on the system.
