Which command provides a list of all running processes on the system?

The command that provides a list of all running processes on the system is commonly represented by 'ps'. The 'ps' command, particularly when used with the appropriate options like '-e' or '-A', shows a complete snapshot of the currently running processes.

While 'top' displays an ongoing real-time view of what's currently happening on the system, it shows an interactive overview of active processes rather than a static list. Therefore, it is useful for tracking resource usage in real-time.

The 'jobs' command is limited to showing the status of jobs that are started in the current shell session, which means it does not provide a comprehensive view of all running processes across the entire operating system.

The 'htop' command is an enhanced version of 'top', offering a more user-friendly interface and additional features for viewing processes and system resource usage. However, it must be installed separately on many systems and provides a dynamic view similar to 'top' rather than a simple list of all processes.

Ultimately, the most straightforward command for listing all running processes is 'ps'.
