The point Julia makes about `grep` resonate with me alot! I have the same (call it problem if you want) issue with `ps`. There is only one variation of ps I know of (`ps aux`) and if I want to change that I have to either look for the options in the man page or google it.
- Joker_vD 3y agoOh, that's a nice one, thanks for mentioning it. I'm personally used to "ps afx", but the "u" does give out some quite useful info... and it's compatible with "f"! So I guess I'll add "ps aufx" to my repertoire.
- jwkane 3y agofaux is easier to remember
- somat 3y agops is bad in general, the default view is almost never what you want and lots of minor formatting options make for a complicated man page. But it is especially a shitshow on linux. fsf: which ps options should we use(bsd, systemv, solaris, sgi)? also fsf: well that's a tricky one... why not all of them? The linux ps man page is a wild mess.
