Process fun

So I really screwed up and was trying to figure out which processes to kill. As it turns out, the exact combination of switches that I passed to ps has started a bizarre trend with some programmers here who appreciated the humor inherent in my trying to recover from a disaster.

ps awfux | grep ovid

Dang! My ps doesn't have the -f option. :-(

I've been saying "P.S. woo-axe-guh" to myself for a few years now, using Solaris's /usr/ucb/ps -wuaxg. Sometimes I even do "wuh-woo-axe-guh": ps -wwuaxg. Makes the greps take longer, though.
