On a Linux-based server, what is the primary purpose of the ps command when it is executed from the shell?
Prints the shell's standard output to the user
Reverts privileges obtained with su or sudo
Lists information about running processes
Opens PowerShell
The ps (process status) command captures a snapshot of the processes that are currently running. With no options, it normally lists the processes associated with the current terminal session, showing details such as PID, TTY, CPU time, and the command that launched each process. It is used for monitoring and administration and does not open PowerShell, print shell output, or undo privilege escalation.
