Sorry if it should be obvious, but "the worst is definitely the worst" … what is the worst? (Presumably not tar, unless I'm reading incorrectly.)
- StringyBob 5y agops. By far the worst. Because it supports multiple syntax types I can never remember the ps command options. Even if you google for examples you get different syntax and end up with a mix of the same option letters doing different things in one command. It seems to lead to all sorts of subtly unexpected behaviors
- mixmastamyk 5y agops -ef | grep foo Is what I use 98% of the time.
- kQq9oHeAz6wLLS 5y agops aux then pipe to grep and/or cut. Or sort. Or...
- qsdf38100 5y agops afx I like the forest (tree) mode.
