Raspberry Pi OS (2) - System information, process and memory management

System information, process and memory management 

These commands are useful for monitoring processes, managing system resources, and troubleshooting issues in Linux:

  • top: Displays a real-time, dynamic view of system processes, showing CPU and memory usage. It helps you monitor system performance and identify resource-hungry processes.

  • ps: Provides a snapshot of currently running processes on your system. It displays details like process IDs (PIDs), CPU usage, and the command that started each process.

  • kill: Terminates running processes by sending signals to them. You provide the process ID (PID) of the target process to stop it, either gracefully or forcefully.

  • df: Reports disk space usage for mounted filesystems, showing how much space is used and how much is available. The -h option displays the output in human-readable formats like MB or GB.

  • free: Displays information about system memory usage, including total, used, and free memory, as well as swap space. The -h option formats the output in a more readable way.
