Well you already have been using -f .... and it should be obvious what -C does, but yes... check the man page (or just try it out).

Code:
pandeeswaran@ubuntu:~$ ps -ef|grep bash
1000      1910  1905  0 11:55 pts/0    00:00:00 bash
1000      2005  1910  0 11:57 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto bash
pandeeswaran@ubuntu:~$ ps -fC bash
UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
1000      1910  1905  0 11:55 pts/0    00:00:00 bash

Works good!Thanks

But one more thing is -C returns an additional header line which i don't need
Code:
UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD

Is there any switch to suppress that?

Thanks

Open the man page and search for "no header" and you'll find the right option.

Yes !! Got it!
Code:
pandeeswaran@ubuntu:~$ ps -fC bash --no-heading

Thanks
