title: About the processes Resource
---
# processes
Use the `processes` InSpec audit resource to test properties for programs that are running on the system.
# Syntax
A `processes` resource block declares the name of the process to be tested, and then declares one (or more) property/value pairs:
describe processes('process_name') do
its('property_name') { should eq ['property_value'] }
end
where
* `processes('process_name')` must specify the name of a process that is running on the system
* `property_name` may be used to test user (`its('users')`) and state properties (`its('states')`)
# Matchers
This InSpec audit resource has the following matchers:
## be
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_be" %>
## cmp
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_cmp" %>
## eq
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_eq" %>
## include
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_include" %>
## match
<%= partial "/shared/matcher_match" %>
## property_name
The `property_name` matcher tests the named property for the specified value:
its('property_name') { should eq ['property_value'] }
# Examples
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
## Test if the list length for the mysqld process is 1
describe processes('mysqld') do
its('list.length') { should eq 1 }
end
## Test if the init process is owned by the root user
describe processes('init') do
its('users') { should eq ['root'] }
end
## Test if a high-priority process is running
describe processes('some_process') do
its('states') { should eq ['R<'] }
end
