Does anyone know of a way to use the standard 'ps' to get a process listing without showing the pid of that instance of 'ps' itself, WITHOUT any piping being performed or auxiliary processes being done, and without using a different utility, such as 'pgrep'?
For example, if there are multiple 'ps' processes running on my system, and if I issue this command, ... ps -C ps u ... then I'll see a line for each 'ps', including this one which I issued. But I don't want to see a line for the 'ps' which I'm running, nor run 'pgrep' or any other program, nor make use of any kind of piping, redirection, etc. In other words, can I get my desired effect only using 'ps' and its command-line options? I know that there are other ways to do this. I pose this question solely to satisfy my intellectual curiosity, and it only concers 'ps' itself and its options. Thanks in advance. -- Lloyd Zusman [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
