ps -a, view other users processes as well as your.
"-u", means that information regarding the users running services, amongst other things.
"-x", displays all processess, including those without controlling terminal sessions.

so

Code:

ps -aux

will give output with all options implemented
and output of this command is passed to grep command which checks if anywhere come getty in ouput that line will be displayed.
