ps -fu
I use ps -fu in a script. It was working for a different box. Here, the username is very long. This is causing the command to error out with a message "unknown username". How do I see all the processes owned by this user?

Thanks,
Keerti

On most version of unix, user names longer than 8 characters are illegal. What os are you using? How long is this user name?

The only way I can find is to switch to numerical uid. If the uid is, say, 1234, do:
ps -fu 1234
