How do I get the PID of a process in Linux?

To get the PID (process ID) of a process in Linux, you can use the “ps” command along with “grep” to search for the process you’re interested in, and then use “awk” to extract the PID from the output. Here’s an example:

ps -ef | grep <process-name> | awk '{print $2}'

Replace with the actual name of the process you’re looking for. This will output the PID of the process. Alternatively, you can use the “pgrep” command, which is designed specifically to search for process IDs based on their names. Here’s an example:

pgrep <process-name>

Again, replace with the name of the process you’re interested in. This will output the PID of the process.
