Show only running processes and specific processes

●View running processes

The ps command basically shows all the processes that are not completed, so it will also show the processes that are stopped.
To show only running processes, run the ps command with the option "-r".

●Show only the status of a specific process

The ps command normally displays all processes, but it can also be used to display specific processes.

Also, if you know the PID (Process ID), you can specify the PID as an argument to display only the status of a specific process.。
