So, you just learned how to find process name from its PID in Linux command line and you also learned to get the PID from the process name. There is a dedicated command called pidof and you can use it like this if you know the exact process name: pidof exact_process_name This is where the ps -p PID -o comm= is better.īonus tip: Since we are talking about process name and PIDs, let me quickly show you the reverse method, i.e., to find PID from process name. However, if you have to use it in a script, it could be an issue. That's not an issue if you are manually reading it. If you know the PID, you can simply use the grep command to filter the output and get the details on that PID: ps aux | grep PIDīut as illustrated by the image below, the output gives other details along with the process name. You can list all running process using the ps command or top command and note the process ID and process name as desired. The functionalities are organized in instruments.

And if that's the case, you may either look into the man page of ps command or use other ways of getting the details. Lock-in+PID is an application for the RedPitaya enviroment / STEMlab 125-14 board that implements an Oscilloscope application and a Lock-in amplifier. Honestly, it's difficult to remember the weird ps -p PID -o comm= syntax. In the above command, -p PID provides the process ID and -o comm= asks it to output the command associated with the given PID. The ps command is used for process related operations. If you know the process ID (PID), you can get the process name using the ps command: ps -p PID -o comm=
