Displays information about processes running on a terminal
server. You can use this command to find out which programs a
specific user is running, and also which users are running a
specific program.

- If a session is specified, it must identify an active session. You can use wildcards to identify the process.
- Query process returns the following information:
- The user who owns the process
- The session that owns the process
- The ID of the session
