That's why you have your shell rc file set up aliases. A few snips
from mine:
-----
case "FREEBSD":
case "UNKNOWN":
alias p 'ps -agOuser'
alias psa 'ps -gaxuww \!* | $PAGER'
breaksw
case "SOLARIS":
alias p '/usr/ucb/ps -agu'
alias psa '/usr/ucb/ps -gaxuww \!* | $PAGER'
breaksw
case "LINUX"
alias p 'ps ua'
alias psa 'ps axuww \!* | $PAGER'
breaksw
-----
And so on.
True, not perhaps as nice as them actually being the same, but what
fun would THAT be? :)
