What are some examples of computer process?

Answer 1

The most basic definition of a process is 'an instance of a program in execution.' For example, at this instance, I have:

• Firefox
• Microsoft Word
• iTunes
• IChat
• Apple Mail

All of these run as their own process. There are also low level processes that need to run, such as:

• the fan control
• the kernel tasks
• the mds (Metadata Server - part of Mac's search tool, Spotlight)
• configd, which keeps track of network configuration information.

Each of these have their own Process Name, ID, a user who called it (in the first set of examples, it'd be the user logged in. In the low level examples, the root would be the user), a certain number of threads, a certain percentage of CPU, Real Memory, and Virtual Memory allocated for it.
