To obtain a list of current processes in the system, you can use different tools depending on the OS:

  • Linux/Unix: the ps command — for example, ps aux will show all processes with detailed information.
  • Windows: the tasklist command in the command prompt will display a list of processes.

You can also programmatically get a list of processes, for example, in Python using the psutil module:

import psutil

for proc in psutil.process_iter(['pid', 'name']):
    print(f"PID: {proc.info['pid']}, Name: {proc.info['name']}")

This code will output the identifiers and names of all current processes.
