jps: List all JVM processes with only PID.
$ jps -q
try on your machine
The command "jps -q" is used to display the Process Identifiers (PIDs) of all running Java processes in a simplified and quiet format.
Here's what each part of the command does:
-
"jps" stands for Java Virtual Machine Process Status Tool. It is a utility provided by Java Development Kit (JDK) to list all Java processes currently running on a system.
-
"-q" is an optional flag that stands for "quiet" mode. When used with "jps", it suppresses the output of the class name, allowing only the PID to be displayed.
Combining these together, the "jps -q" command will provide a concise list of only the PIDs of all running Java processes, without any extra information.
