I often use "ps -ef" command to list all running processes. Now i want to customize the output to show only 2 parts: CMD and UID as below:

/bin/bash /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.weekly root
/usr/sbin/httpd apache
/usr/sbin/httpd apache
/usr/sbin/httpd apache

I use , but it's not a good way because CMD part can have its arguments (aka long list of options), we can not tell awk to do like this: awk '{print $8 $9 $10 $11 .... $20 " " $1}'.

Anyone know a better way in bash shell?
Thanks

Hi All,
can any one brief me about what are the UNIX OS X Developer tools that are required to run Tomcat as daemon process.

Problem : while Compiling JSVC it needs OS X Developer tools to be installed.

Reference :Installing Apache Tomcat 6 on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

can i use Mac Os x developer tools for unix os x developer tool ?

the -o option allows you to specify which fields are output by ps. Consult your man page for ps for the exact format specifiers you want.

hmm, -o is great, I can change to But if the command is long it'll be truncated.
200 is a custom length for "command" can show, but we will face another issue: all commands will have a fixed length as 200 chars, the output will not clean to see. Anyway, thank you so much Jim!
