Hi,
>>ps -ef,glance, is there any command

Apart from this command you can use "top"

HI:

Fundamentally, the 'pstat(2)' system call is the API used by 'ps' and tools like 'glance' and 'top' to gather information about running processes.

Therefore, I would say 'ps' is your best friend. On 11.31 you have some cousins, 'ptree' and 'pgrep' which help you "see" the process hierarchy and help you find processes of interest.

Regards!

You can also use ps(1):
UNIX95=EXTENDED_PS ps -H -ef

Instead of -e, you can use "-u user" to limit the processes.
