jps: Display the full package name of all processes.
$ jps -l
try on your machine

The command "jps -l" is used to list all Java processes running on a system along with their full class names.

Here's how the command works step by step:

  1. "jps" is the Java Virtual Machine Process Status Tool. It is a command-line utility that comes with Java Development Kit (JDK) and is used to list the Java processes running on a system.
  2. "-l" is an optional flag for the "jps" command. It stands for "list" and is used to display the full class names of the Java processes.

When you execute "jps -l" in the command prompt or terminal, it will provide an output containing the Process ID (PID) and the full class name of each running Java process. The class name typically includes the main class of the Java application or the main class of the Java process. This information can be useful for identifying and managing Java processes on a system.
