Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Why does "ps -[u|U] username" not list processes when username is numeric? Post 303039933 by MadeInGermany on Friday 18th of October 2019 12:52:26 AM

The first field in passwd is the username (login name).
It must start with a letter. A number like 320074 is illegal, many Unix tools cannot behave correctly.
u320074 would be a correct username.
