Answer from AI

To view Java processes on Linux, you can use several commands:

  1. jps — a utility from the JDK that shows running Java processes with their identifiers and class names:
jps -l
  1. ps — a standard command for viewing processes. You can filter processes by the name java:
ps aux | grep java
  1. top or htop — interactive utilities for monitoring processes, where you can search for java processes by name.

  2. For more detailed analysis, you can use jcmd or jstat from the JDK, specifying the PID of the desired process.

Thus, jps is the simplest way to quickly get a list of Java processes with their PIDs and main parameters.
