The ps man page lists many options which can be used to custom display the ps listings.

Straight from the man page

Code:
ps -o user,pid,args

should do what you are looking for. Displays all processes for the current user.

but it is not what I'm looking for I want to manage the susers and the system, then I should see all the process of everybody. I want to know what is the reason that the user I have created can not be shown with his user name. Thank you.

You have been here long enough to know the rules.

Dont duplicate. Your original thread.

From what I understand, you want to see the process listing of all users on a particular system.

Have a look at the man page for ps? So many options are available for ps.

In the examples section we have

Code:
EXAMPLES
       To see every process on the system using standard syntax:
              ps -e
       To see every process on the system using BSD syntax:
              ps ax
       To see every process except those running as root (real & effective ID)
              ps -U root -u root -N
       To see every process with a user-defined format:
              ps -eo pid,tt,user,fname,tmout,f,wchan
       Odd display with AIX field descriptors:
              ps -o "%u : %U : %p : %a"
       Print only the process IDs of syslogd:
              ps -C syslogd -o pid=

Dear Vino,
It is not the same, it is on UNIX.
If I know how to resolve it on UNIX I may find an issu for Red hat. On the other hand I want to know if there is any log file ( and where ) for UNIX.
Regards.
