Why does the 'ps' command with -u option not working?

How can I use the 'ps' command to view current sessions but only for a given process/user, with the -u parm?

In older versions of Unix, this used to work, but not in Sun Solaris.

Thanks

How are you attempting to use the command?

ps -fu username

Just tried on Solaris 9 and 10... all good...

I do it like this ...

$ps -ef -umipsw

in C shell... and I get everybody!

Yet this works fine in Unix.

Yes it works using your method. I got it wrong with the -e option, yet this did not pose a problem in Unix. Anyway, it's ok now. Thanks

The -e will list information about every process currently running - hence you see the full list.
