A question on process name

thomas2004ch · 01-12-2010, 02:50 AM

Hi,

I list the process with

Code:

ps -ef | grep java

and I got:

Code:

user1 24041 ....

Here the user1 should the process name. My question: Is this name the same as the user name?

Says who?

Code:

ps -ef

according to the man-page gives us the
user owning the process, the PID, the PPID ... the process name is part of the 8th column, followed by any arguments ...

Cheers,
