The command "top -user ${user_name}" is used to view system processes in real-time for a specific user.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "top" is a command-line utility in Unix-like operating systems that provides a dynamic view of system processes and resource usage.
- "-user" is an option or flag used with the "top" command to specify that we want to filter the view by user.
- "${user_name}" is a placeholder representing the actual username you want to monitor. You need to replace "${user_name}" with the specific username you wish to observe.
When you execute this command, the output will display a live-updating list of processes running on the system for the specified user. It typically includes details such as process ID (PID), CPU usage, memory usage, and other relevant information.
