View the operations on your custom server
In this article we will explain how to display the current operation on your custom server through the SSH command line interface.
Steps to view current operations using the "top" command:
Step 1: Log on to a dedicated server via SSH as a root user.
Step 2: Through your shell instance, run the following command
[email protected] [~] # top -icd1
Step 3: After completion, you will see a list of the time the server arrived, the number of users currently logged in, the average number of downloads, as well as all data and information about running the tasks and CPUs.

Steps to view current processes using the "ps" command:

Step 2: Through the following command, you can see only all operations and run the command in your shell instance
[email protected] [~] # ps aux
Step 3: After that you will see all processes like this:
