Delve into the Linux process management system and see how everything fits together.

Hope you enjoyed the video!

Been a linux user since 1995 but I still learned something. Thank you!

I don't think I ever hear such clear explanations. Thank you very much!
Instead of using 'clear', you could use 'CTRL+L'.

This was an excellent video that got me up to speed in a hurry.
Very well organized and nicely explained.
A great jumping off point for my own exploration.
Thank you!

[MehdiShokoohi]

That was amazing Engineer; wish i could 'fg' all of my postponed tasks and "kill -20 bad-mood" !

[Diprotic]

I'm 3 minutes in & I've learned A LOT!


Thank you! You're the kind of people we need on youtube regarding linux.

I am learning this at college, but everyone one is struggling due to our harsh teacher making the most hardest test questions. He does not give good material to study, but thank God I came across your channel. I finally understand the real purposes of these commands and enjoy this now!

[fruitygranulizer]

this was so incredibly well explained. my prof was making a shit show out of this chapter by just throwing a bunch of words at us. going back and reading his lecture notes, i can understand it now, and i furthur can see how poorly written his lecture was. thank so much for this.

11:54 We can use `watch -n 2 jobs` to monitor jobs command every 2 seconds.
so we can show the realtime result from pane 1 when the process killed at pane 2.

some energy efficiency and fun than manually type a repetitive command.

I wish knew your name to properly address my thanks to you and this great video...The quality f your explanation but also the goodwill to share it with the community, my deep respect!!!

[kavithapriyacj]

Just a wow content .. awesome man that u indirectly mentioned about difference between killed and terminated process ..love u

[zachmane]

Always appreciate the quality of your videos. Goes in depth, but accessible to beginners

[aminebouaita]

I want to thank you for the quality of your videos, not just this one. All of your videos

Ctrl c sends a SIGINT signal.

Init is the first process pid = 1

Bash first fork (copies ) the process and than exec (replaces ) the process as child process.

T = stopped state
S = Interuptable sleep state ( Running in bg)

Kill -15
Kill -2
Kill -1
Kill -9 ( my fav )

[abhishekshah]

I'm happy that I recognized all the commands :)

[MiserableDuck]

Where was this 3 months ago during my Operating Systems course? <3

[justchecking]

your content is neat and tidy I can't be grateful more for what you've done on this channel. your contribution for linux learning community is huge

[tigercake]

really love these videos, I'm learning a lot. Very very accessible and clear videos, please keep up the good work.

[IctioPar]

Great content! I've recently started working with linux again and it's awesome to get to know more!

[TheFarmacySeedsNetwork]

The few videos of yours I've seen are excellent and simple explanations! I will be sharing these with my friends (who are learning) and also my users from my Raspberry Pi series. cheers!

[ezequiel]

I wonder what distro are you using since your 'kill -l' output is so different than mine. Yours is more complete and is numbered while mine is just a list of signals, completely useless.

As usual great video, very well prepared and organized, and your communication skills are superb ;) you are a very good teacher. I've been a linux user since 1998 and still learning things.
Very much appreciated.
