Rescue runaway process forensics
Extreme Linux arena: process inspection with ps, pgrep, lsof, and deterministic filtering
Log in and clear the lower tiers to unlock this mission.
Missing prerequisites: linux-easy-process-forensics
CPU alarms point to a worker family that respawns under similar command names. You are working inside a Linux production host, and the arena only clears when the result is safe, deterministic, and explainable.
Learn to apply process inspection with ps, pgrep, lsof, and deterministic filtering in a Linux production host while explaining the invariant, safety constraints, and hidden edge cases.
- Demonstrates process inspection with ps, pgrep, lsof, and deterministic filtering
- Handles the visible sample and hidden edge cases
- Keeps output deterministic and explainable
- Avoids destructive host commands
Clear the route first
You can read the mission brief, but the editor, hints, tests, and submit flow stay locked until progression or plan access catches up.
