List of Java processes

Question

How can I list all Java processes in bash? I need an command line. I know there is command ps but I don\'t know what parameters I need to use.

Answer 1

When I want to know if a certain Java class is getting executed, I use the following command line:

ps ww -f -C java | grep "fully.qualified.name.of.class"

From the OS side view, the process's command name is "java". The "ww" option widens the colum's maximum characters, so it's possible to grep the FQN of the related class.
