Htop - How to detect exact command running at background
Hello,
I am running a python file from terminal and I wish to see which code is running at background. When I use htop, I see just a few commands, unable to see entire command.


Code:
htop > report
nano report

Output:
Code:
^[[?1049h^[[1;34r^[(B^[[m^[[4l^[[?7h^[[?1h^[=^[[?25l^[[39;49m^[[?1000h^[[39;49m^[(B^[[m^[[H^[[2J^[[2d  ^[[36m1  ^[[39m^[(B^[[0;1m[^[$

^[[?1l^[>

Following parts of ffmpeg line is not shown by htop. Just showing "ffmpeg -y -v error -i /var/www/gr/ru"
Could you please let me know is there a way to see entire command?


Thanks
Boris

Code:
htop

is interactive, so it creates characters to format output. Try the
Code:
ps

command. There is also the
Code:
pstree

command which may be what you want.

You should also be aware that when you issue any command it creates another process owned by the user issuing the command.

Hello Jim,
Thanks for the answer but ps and pstree are also not giving expected result.

Thanks

check out top command with -b

Did you try ps -ef? This shows full details for all processes.

If your version of ps supports it, consider the -C cmdlist option. cmdlist is a comma-separated list of commands you wish to list with ps.

You can customize your ps output with the -o option, for example
Code:
ps -e -o user,pid,vsz,rss,time,args
