ps U [username]Up to now you've been looking at how ps gives you a list of all processes on your system. If you want to limit the results to those owned by a single user, simply use the U option, followed by the username or number. $ ps U scott PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 14928 ? S 0:00 /opt/ooo2/program/soffice -writer 14957 ? Sl 0:42 /opt/ooo2/program/soffice.bin -writer 4688 pts/4 S+ 0:00 ssh scott@humbug.machine.com 26751 ? Z 0:00 [wine-preloader] <defunct> 27955 pts/5 R+ 0:00 ps U scott Of course, ps doesn't include the username in the listing because it was already part of the command. Tip Remember, if you don't know the user's number, just look in /etc/passwd. Find the username, and the user number is in the third column. |
