Planned:

  • ps aux / ps -ef โ€” process snapshot, filtering
  • top / htop โ€” interactive monitoring, hotkeys
  • kill / killall / pkill โ€” sending signals; SIGTERM vs SIGKILL
  • nice / renice โ€” CPU priority (nice -20..19)
  • systemctl โ€” start/stop/enable/status/mask, unit files
  • journalctl โ€” filter by unit, time, priority
  • cron / crontab โ€” syntax, special strings (@reboot, @daily)
  • at / anacron โ€” one-time tasks
