How do you print the number of processes that each user is currently running in Unix?
Ok, so I know there's a way to do this, but I've been trying to find out all afternoon with no luck. I think it should print out something like this:

1 bin
2 daemon
6 duo

Where the numbers on the left are the number of processes being run by the user whose name is listed on the right. Is there a way to do this? If so, what commands to I need to use?

Thanks in advance.

Code:
ps aux | sort -k1 - | awk '{print $1}' | uniq -c

is this OK?

maybe this is better:
Code:
ps aux | sort -k1 - | awk '{print $1}' | uniq -c | sort -n
