I just wanted the result when the user is issuing ps aux is same as when they're doing ps x like this:
Quote:
[psycho@server /usr/bin]$ ps x

13474 ?? S 0:00.02 sshd: coder@ttyp0 (sshd)

13565 p0 R+ 0:00.00 ps x
1527 p1- S 1:13.53 ./script
[psycho@server /usr/bin]$
(which shows result on user's current background process only)

thanks for helping

come on anyone know how can i make this possible

Old 10-12-2007
if you tried reading the man page for ps instead of bumping your own posts you might find the answer!

Code:
ps -U username u

i wonder if i put my question clear

i need to restrict the ps result, so whenever the user is typing ps aux he/she will get the result as ps x only
# 5  
Old 10-13-2007
try doing a grep ?
# 6  
Old 10-13-2007
The OP wants to actually make the command output 'ps x' even if run as 'ps aux'. That will probably require changing the source code for 'ps'. This is BSD, so if you can, just open up the source and make the changes. You might also be able to search for a ps that is modified to do this, but I don't know where you might find that. Check with BSD communities - you may get help.

perhaps I'm missing something obvious here but surely you could just do something like follows:

1. Rename ps to ps_orig
2. Create a 2 line shell script called ps in the same directory as ps was like follows:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
ps_orig -x

3. Chmod 555 ps (same as ps_orig or whatever you want)

I just did it, albeit on a FC5 box, and it works...
