Re: tee -a /dev/null

When I do a ps, I see a process:

I understand I might use tee from the command line, but why is this
process running, and what is it appending to /dev/null ?  And is it a Good
Thing?

Hard to say what it is... ps -ef gives the user, process id, and parent process id as the first three columns. Helpful things to know would be: What is the parent of the tee process? What user is running it?
