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 ?

    ps outputs a newline after every entry. What are you trying to accomplish?

    Do you have a username that contains a newline character? If so… why?!
