The following information is displayed for each process: Name of the command under which the process was called. Any flags collected when
the command was executed. The following flags are valid: Command was run with an effective user-id of 0. Command ran after a fork, but
without an exec system call following it. Name of the user who issued the command. The terminal the command was started from. Seconds of
