OBJECTIVE

Understand what is running inside your own Termux environment and how resource usage changes.

TIME PLAN

Prepare 20m · Build 110m · Verify 30m · Document 20m

Working boundary

Work only inside the folder created by Smartphone-Academy.py prepare process-observation. Use the supplied samples or systems you personally administer.

Prepare the Termux workspace

Open Termux in the Academy root and prepare this lab with the local companion. It creates safe samples, notes and evidence files under your Termux account.

Android + Termuxpython Smartphone-Academy.py prepare process-observationNo root. Use the supplied files and keep the workspace under $HOME.

Practical mission

  1. Capture an idle process and memory snapshot
  2. Start a harmless CPU or file-processing task
  3. Identify the task by name, identifier and parent process
  4. Stop only the process you created and verify recovery
EVIDENCE TO PRODUCE

A process snapshot comparing idle state with one controlled workload.

Quality gate

The deliverable states a clear scope and date for Observe Local Processes.
A second learner can reproduce the commands and paths.
Original samples remain unchanged and verifiable.
Limitations are recorded beside the conclusions.

Analyst reflection

Which result from “Stop only the process you created and verify recovery” would need more evidence before it could support an operational decision?

Complete in Termux

After checking the evidence, run python Smartphone-Academy.py complete process-observation. Progress is stored locally in the Termux home directory.
