The man pages are your friend here. *-e* Select all processes *-f* does full-format listing. This option can be combined with many other UNIX-style options to add additional columns. It also causes the command arguments to be printed.
*a* Lift the BSD-style "only yourself" restriction, which is imposed upon the set of all processes when some BSD-style (without "-") options are used or when the *ps* personality setting is BSD-like. The set of processes selected in this manner is in addition to the set of processes selected by other means. An alternate description is that this option causes *ps* to list all processes with a terminal (tty), or to list all processes when used together with the *x* option. *u *display user-oriented format *x *Lift the BSD-style "must have a tty" restriction, which is imposed upon the set of all processes when some BSD-style (without "-") options are used or when the *ps* personality setting is BSD-like. The set of processes selected in this manner is in addition to the set of processes selected by other means. An alternate description is that this option causes *ps* to list all processes owned by you (same EUID as *ps*), or to list all processes when used together with the *a* option. So *ps -ef *will show all processes is a full format output. And *ps aux* does the same thing in BSD-strict distros. Both methods work on my Mandriva server, though *ps aux* outputs more columns of what I would consider useless. Jeremiah E.
