Question

I'm new in learning linux commands, please help me out in finding the difference between ps -ef and ps -ef | more command in linux

Answer 1

With ps -ef | more you pipe | the output from ps to more, so you can scroll through the results of ps. Use man ps and man moreto see the description for these commands. See http://ryanstutorials.net/linuxtutorial/piping.php for more information on pipes and streams.

Answer 2

more is a file perusal filter for CRT viewing. more is a filter for paging through text one screenful at a time.
