When working on my Mac, sometimes I find a process in Activity Monitor and I want to know what application the process belongs to. I was introduced to this command to do just that.
In this case, I wanted to identify the Application associated with unfsd
.
Find what process is behind Process Name unfsd
in Activity Monitor on my Mac.
ps -aef | grep unfsd
The result was the Local by Flywheel app, that I use to run WordPress websites locally on my machine.
$ ps -aef | grep unfsd
