Why each option
Tools like `ps` and `top` are instrumental in capacity planning for identifying and monitoring individual processes and their resource consumption.
The `free` command displays information about available and used memory, but it does not identify specific processes consuming that memory.
The `lshal` command lists hardware abstraction layer information, which is unrelated to identifying processes of interest for capacity planning.
The `ps` command provides a snapshot of currently running processes, allowing administrators to identify specific processes, their PIDs, and associated resource usage for analysis during capacity planning.
The `top` command provides a real-time, dynamic view of active processes, showing CPU usage, memory consumption, and other metrics, which is crucial for identifying resource-intensive processes during capacity planning.
