Tracing what a Linux process is doing
(2 votes, average: 5 out of 5)
Loading ...From time to time you will get hanged process or you are unsure of what a process is doing at that moment.
You can trace what a process is doing by running:
strace -p PID
Where PID is the process ID. Whis will show you what that process is doing in real time.
This is usefull for detecting exploits or the source of a hang process.
To detach from that process simply press CTRL + C.
Hope it helps ! Leave a comment if you have any questions.
