NAME

       pxtree — display running processes in a tree

SYNOPSIS

       pxtree [--debug] [SEARCH]

DESCRIPTION

       pxtree lists all running processes in a tree.

       Process  names are followed by their PIDs in parentheses. If multiple processes have the same names, they
       will be coalesced into one entry marked with (3×) in bold,  where  3  in  this  case  is  the  number  of
       duplicates.

       The optional SEARCH parameter can be:

       •   A PID (Process ID)

       •   A process name or part of one

       •   A user name

       Any  search  hits will be highlighted in bold. All parents and children of all search hits will always be
       listed.

       With the --debug flag, extra log messages are sometimes printed after pxtree finishes.

PROCESS NAMING

       pxtree tries to be helpful about naming processes, and avoid printing names of various VMs.

       For example, if you do java -jar foo.jar, pxtree will show this process as foo.jar rather than java.
