In this tutorial, we will learn to use the top(table of processes) command in Linux and see some practical examples.
The top command shows a dynamic, real-time view of running processes and kernel-managed tasks in Linux.
The command also provides a system information summary that shows resource utilization, including CPU and memory usage.
Syntax
