How can I read all unix processes from PHP?

Can I kill unix processes from PHP?

How can I insert a sudo command in a php script? I inserted it as $fun="sudo less ~home/guest/aa.txt

You can return a list of processes with the unix command:

    ps

You can probably pipe it trough awk to return only the important
processes.

    <?
    $fp=popen("/bin/ps -aux","r");
    while (!feof($fp)) {
      $buffer = fgets($fp, 4096);
      echo nl2br($buffer);
    }
    ?>

To kill processes you will need to run a command as root or the owner of
the process.  You might be able to do this using sudo or similar.
