Answer 1

Question 5 - True

The top command is used to monitor the Linux processes. It gives us a dynamic real-time view of the running system. Usually, this command shows us the summary information of the system and the list of processes or threads which are currently managed by the Linux Kernel.

Question 6 - False

Use kill <job ID> to kill the current process with job ID - 3.

Example

1. invoke the sleep process for example

>kuttanz@pj7-inspiron-14-3467:~$ sleep 100 &
>[3] 6180 here 3 is our job ID

2. check for the job

>jobs -l
>[1]- 6004 Stopped (signal) top
>[2]+ 6113 Stopped sleep 100
>[3] 6180 Running sleep 100 & - this is the job we invoked.

3. Terminate the process using the job ID
>kill 3 - invoke kill job ID to terminate the process
>[3] Done sleep 100
