📄️ Background and Foreground Processes
Foreground processes occupy the terminal and block input until completion. Background processes run detached, allowing continued shell use.
📄️ Listing and Finding Processes
Processes can be viewed system-wide or filtered by user or pattern.
📄️ Process Signals
Signals notify or control processes for actions such as stop, continue, or terminate.
📄️ Killing Processes
SIGTERM requests graceful termination; SIGKILL forces immediate stop.
📄️ Process Priorities (nice/renice)
Niceness values (-20 to 19) influence CPU scheduling; lower values mean higher priority.
📄️ Process Forking
Forking creates a child process that duplicates the parent’s context.
