My favorite:
########### not forest ############## ps ax # all users all process - least info ps auxe # all users all process - more info, not wrapped ps auxeww # all users all process - more info, wrapped ps auxe | nl # all users all process - more info, wrapped ########### forest ############## ps afuxe # all users all process - more info, in forest fashion ps afuxeww # all users all process - more info, in forest fashion, wrapped ps afuxe | nl # all users all process - more info, in forest fashion, wrapped
Same commands listed in different fashion:
# simple ps aux # most output (all users) ps ux # lots output ps ax # less output (all users) ps x # least output # forest view (process trees - similar to pstree) ps afuxe # (all users) ps afuxeww # or ps fuxe | nl # (all users) # without forest ps auxe # (all users) ps auxeww # or ps auxe | nl # (all users)
Legend:
- a all users, without a only current user
- f shows in tree fashion like pstree (forest), without f normal output
- w & ww are for output width, with ww it wraps the lines, with a single w (or no w) it doesnt wrap. can achieve similar wrapping with just using | nl (however it adds line numbers on left column)
- e shows environment variables, without e doesnt show environment variables
The end.
