Hi,

by doing a

ps aux | grep UserName

The output do not keep the LF[1] 😡

I've found some solution online by they involve 3 or more pipe | !

On my side, I've made this

ps -fp $(pgrep -d, -u UserName)

But still I found it not super human readable.

Is their a native way with ps to filter users ? or to grep it but the keep the LF ?

    tbh you should prolly use pgrep instead of piping ps into grep

    what do you mean the output doesnt keep the LF? what LF?

    ps also has -u and -U switches to filter by users
