Which command would you use to view currently running processes?

The command used to view currently running processes is ‘ps’. This command provides a snapshot of the current processes running on the system, showing details such as the process ID (PID), the terminal associated with each process, the CPU and memory usage, and the command that started each process. The basic usage of ps with no options will display the processes that are associated with the current terminal session.

While the 'top' command also allows you to view running processes, it provides a dynamic, real-time view of the system processes, updating continuously until the command is terminated. This is different from 'ps,' which provides a static list at the moment the command is executed.

The 'jobs' command is used to display the status of jobs started in the current shell session, specifically background jobs and their statuses, rather than a complete list of processes running on the entire system.

Although both 'ps' and 'top' are relevant for checking running processes, 'ps' is the command that directly addresses the requirement of simply viewing the currently active processes in a snapshot format. There is no command ‘all’ in this context, as it does not correspond to standard commands used for process monitoring in Linux.
