Not to be too nit-picky, but if 'sue' is executing that command, it is kind of a funny way to do it (the 'a' switch adds all users and 'U' then narrows it back down to just sue). Just do, ps -x To get all of your own processes, add the 'u' if you want the more detailed output. If you are checking a third party's processes, again, the 'a' is extraneous as well. -- Crist J.
