What is the difference between ps and ps -e command in linux ? ps -e gives a longer list .
11 Answer
From the manual,
By default, ps selects all processes with the same effective user ID (euid=EUID) as the current user and associated with the same terminal as the invoker.
For example, if you open a gnome-terminal and give the ps command, it will list all your processes started from that terminal.
ps -e lists all the processes in the system.
