───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
rick@alien:~$ pstree -aps $$
systemd,1 splash fastboot kaslr
└─lightdm,1026
└─lightdm,1294 --session-child 12 19
└─upstart,1838 --user
└─gnome-terminal-,25109
└─bash,25119
└─pstree,5696 -aps 25119
The environment variable $$ returns the current running processes PID (Process ID) which is the bash terminal.
The pstree command shows the entire “tree” of commands called.
