Talk:Ps (Unix)

[edit] Cleanup
This article is seems to miss it's target of a general reader, and talks about so many options as to be somewhat confusing. The ps command is one that is used so often, that it should have a clearer introduction, before going into more advanced options like -e -f, and aux. --Unixguy 12:25, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
- I wouldn't call those "advanced" at all. Using ps in any way other than "ps -ef" (or "ps aux" on non-UNIX systems) is advanced. Beginners just memorize "ps -ef", then maybe pipe it through grep or awk. AlbertCahalan 04:02, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What does ps stand for?
Does ps stand for processes? 16@r 22:08, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- ps stands for process status, as far as I know. --Unixguy 17:00, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
