RE: Linux ps command

Excellent point, Nuno. And if the list will permit a slight digression, in the book The Cuckoo's Egg by Clifford Stall, that parameter difference was the first indication that they weren't dealing with a local teenage hacker. Still an excellent book. Shutting up now.

For those interested in the historical background: the Sun "ps aux" is rooted in the Berkely Unix tradition (BSD), whereas "ps -ef" is rooted in the AT&T System V tradition.
Berkeley and System V used to be the main contenders for the "true Unix" crown. Largely nobody cared, so they eventually saw the light and unified.
