Hi
i've been googling a lot but can't find an answer. All I would like to know is how to find out all processes that are running on a machine.
I know ps gives all YOUR processes.
thanks

What is the difference between ps -e and ps -ef .
Also i have just loggged in and given the command ps -ef | grep gap44049

gap44049 19759 19056 1 16:57:34 pts/th 0:00 grep gap44049
gap44049 19758 19056 1 16:57:34 pts/th 0:00 ps -ef
gap44049 19056 19024 0 16:44:06 pts/th 0:00 /usr/local/bin/tcsh
gap44049 19024 19023 0 16:43:58 pts/th 0:00 -tcsh
What do these 4 processes mean when i have only one session running ?
