command to list other users Processes
 

hey guys,
do you know a command to display the process status of another user on UNIX please? I mean can i know all the processes my coworker is using on his computer?

Hi,

try the following with "# " representing the prompt on a command line.
# ps -ef | more
this will list you all processes of all users
# ps -ef | grep xyz
this will list you all processes containing the string xyz including the user name
also take a look at the
#top
command. It will show you the cpu utilization of individual processes.
And last but not least enter
# man ps
and
# man ps

have fun

You can replace "ps|grep" with "pgrep", so if you want to narrow it down more easily try "ps U UID" or "pgrep -lU UID". Get the UID from like "id -u loginname".

The way you worded your question makes it sound as though you and your coworker are on two separate computers. Is this correct?
