[Novalug] DSL problem

[James Ewing Cottrell 3rd]

  Sorry...old mail, but the inf is timeless, so I am posting anyway.

PS will handle both BSD (without dash) as well as System V (with dash) 
options.

Actually, I believe that it was AIX that first pioneered this practice.

So "ps aux" and "ps -ef" are roughly equivalent. The formats may differ 
but all processes should be shown.
