OS process management refers to the operating system's handling of running programs, including process creation, scheduling, memory allocation, inter-process communication, and termination. System administrators and software engineers rely on this knowledge to monitor resource usage, troubleshoot performance issues, and manage multitasking on Linux, Windows, or Unix systems using tools like Task Manager, ps, top, or systemd.
