How to View the Command Name in Top
Top is a command line tool / binary that is used in unix-like environments to display process information.
On mac, man top:
top – display sorted information about processes
On ubuntu, man top:
top - display Linux processes
Running Top#
To run top:
top
to exit:
Ctrl + c
Show the command used to run the program#
Sometimes you will run top and see the process and the name under command.
But this will show the top-level process. So if you are using python, node or a webserver like gunicorn - you won’t see more detailed info about the command used to run the process.
To do that simply press c when you are in top
I tested this on Ubuntu OS only
