ps -aux | grep "dewitte" | more

I woke up thinking about this string of old Unix commands today. 

I think the last time I really used it was on a PDP-11 in 1983.

It looks right - might be off slightly, but basically the ps displays all the currently running Unix processes then you pipe (send) it over to the grep command to look up "dewitte" then you pipe that over to more so it paginates the output.

Ah, good times - good times.  Who needs windows when you have a PDP-11?
