$ ps T
  PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
 1448 pts/1    S      0:01 -tcsh
15257 pts/1    T      0:00 -sh

$ ps --User mysql

  304 ?        00:00:00 mysqld
  305 ?        00:00:00 mysqld

everything actuve for real-user-id 'mysql'

but careful if you try to pronounce

$ ps fux

some folks just don't have enough of a sense of humor.

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #13 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com> 
:
How can you generate RANDOM EMAIL SIGNATURES? Many email clients
have this feature -- for mutt, simply declare in your ~/.muttrc
file something like
	send-hook debian- "set signature='~/.signature-debian |'"
(note the quoted value ends with a 'pipe|' symbol) Then whenever
you send email to any debian-* address, it'll append the output
from your script, instead of appending a static file.
