How to list all other users' program which are running background?

I want to find all the programs that are not ran by myself?
I tried using

Code:

w

. But it only list the users who log in the current computer. I want to find the user and the program which are running background.
My user name is

Code:

zwang10

He said he wanted all processes not run as himself.

Code:

ps aux | grep -v zwang

Or just get rid of the grep entirely to show all processes.

Yes, that's what you asked for...all processes not owned by you. The only processes that remain will be the ones running as root, and the many other "service" users. What is it you want?

For example, there is an user whose name is mike. And mike is running his program in this public computer background (I am logging in this computer). How can I see all the programs he is running background?

Then change the grep to search for mike

Code:

ps aux | grep mike

Code:

man ps

man grep
