    The best tool for listing Unix processes is the ps command. To get a "long" listing of all your own processes, including such information as process priority. The ps command is a flexible tool for identifying the programs that are running on the system and the resources they are using.

    Re: Put running process into background remotely

    In Unix, a background process executes independently of the shell, leaving the terminal free for other work. To run a process in the background, include an & (an ampersand) at the end of the command you use to run the job. For example : "top" command is used to view the live process of the background. fg will give background process to foreground.
