ps command
 

I was reading about ps command. Ohhhh....it is a big list.

Can anyone tell me all the important switches of ps command ???

I personally like the '--forest' switch. It lets you see how all the processes are connected to one another.

i generally use a,x,f with NO CLUE what they're for :)

1. ps means process status.
2. $ps aux | more
- 'a' option show all processes
- 'u' option show associated users
- 'ax' not just our own but all
