  B The command "ps -ef" provides a detailed list of all processes running on the system along with their resource utilization. Analyzing the output of "ps -ef" will help the engineer identify which processes are consuming high CPU and memory resources, helping to pinpoint the cause of the degraded performance. This information is crucial for understanding the current state of the system and determining the processes that may be contributing to the resource load.

  B is the best answer ps -ef ==> understand which processes are taking a high amount of resources.

• Chose B5

  B is correct. The options appears encoded to me. The options are: a) Run "ps -u" to find out who executed additional processes that caused a high load on a server. b) Run "ps -ef" to understand which processes are taking a high amount of resources. c) Run "ps -d" to decrease the priority state of high load processes to avoid resource exhaustion. d) Run "ps -m" to capture the existing state of daemons and map required processes to find the gap. ps -u --> Filter processes according to the user ps -ef --> To see every process on the system using standard syntax ps -d --> View all the processes except session leaders ps -m --> display the scheduling policies of a thread I fact ps -eF should be better https://www.journaldev.com/24613/linux-ps-command https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/ps-command-in-linux-with-examples/ https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.2?topic=p-ps-command
