This documentation is no longer maintained by the Turris team (although it can be used by the community to share content). The current official documentation is at docs.turris.cz.

This documentation applies only Turris OS 3.x that is no longer present in newly sold routers. The new documentation is located at https://docs.turris.cz/.

What processes are running on the Turris router?

You will find the running processes in the console with pstree and below is a list and description of the processes that are present in the router after the basic installation. The list applies to Turris OS 3.6.x . With multiple installed user packages, additional processes may be added, the following list thus includes processes that are on the router running after the basic installation.

This list is not a guarantee that these processes will always be present on the router; each update will tell you which packages are added or uninstalled. However, the processes we publish here will be supported in the long term

You can find a process summary on the router from the command line by using the command pstree CAUTION: Additional running processes are added by installing additional packages.
