[kwlug-disc] Question about `ps` and `grep`

[John Van Ostrand]

Me too. I'm stuck on ps -ef which always gets me when I'm on my pfSense
firewall (NetBSD based.) I started to use pkill a while ago, but I do
rarely kill processes and often after a top where I can see the PID anyway.
I know about pgrep, but I still ps -ef | grep ...
