NAME

pss − show active processes

SYNOPSIS

pss

DESCRIPTION

Pss is a shell script which does a "ps axl" and processes the output, removing login shells and instances of getty.  The result is then sorted by teletype.  Pss is useful for seeing what is going on in the system. 

SEE ALSO

procp (VI), ps (I)

BUGS

Pss is a shell script which uses grep and sort.  Because of the sort pss must finish all processing before any output occurs.  On a heavily loaded system, this may take a large amount of time.  Pss would be much faster if it were an option of ps.
