# Show Tree View Of Processes And Subprocesses
|
||
|
||
Though you can cobble together a command on a MacOS Unix system to output a
|
||
hierarchical tree view of a parent process and its descendent subprocesses, it
|
||
is easier to [`brew install pstree`](https://github.com/FredHucht/pstree) and
|
||
use that.
|
||
|
||
Here is what I see when I run it for a _pid_ that corresponds to a `tmux`
|
||
session that I have running locally:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
❯ pstree 61690
|
||
-+= 61690 lastword tmux new-session -d -s TIL -c /Users/lastword/dev/jbranchaud/til
|
||
|--= 63081 lastword /bin/zsh
|
||
|-+= 11428 lastword zsh
|
||
| \-+= 48511 lastword pstree 61690
|
||
| \--- 48512 root ps -axwwo user,pid,ppid,pgid,command
|
||
|-+= 62345 lastword zsh
|
||
| \--= 06031 lastword claude
|
||
|--= 62364 lastword /bin/zsh
|
||
|-+= 62373 lastword zsh
|
||
| \--= 64407 lastword ssh my-app-staging
|
||
|-+= 61115 lastword /bin/zsh
|
||
| \-+= 61579 lastword overmind start -f Procfile.dev
|
||
| \--- 61586 lastword tmux -C -L overmind-my-app-abc123 new -n web -s my-app -P -F %overmind-process #{pane_id} web #{pane_pid} /var/folders/zc/abc123/T/overmin
|
||
|--= 52237 lastword /bin/zsh
|
||
|--= 82608 lastword /bin/zsh
|
||
\--= 10796 lastword /bin/zsh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
I was looking for a frozen `claude` process that was part of this session. And I
|
||
found it about halfway down that list -- `06031`. Now I can run `kill` on that
|
||
process as needed.
|
||
|
||
For some additional context, I initially found the _pid_ for the `tmux` session
|
||
by running `ps aux | grep tmux` and looking through those results.
