Solaris is a SysV-based Unix, and has stayed fairly consistent to 
that, unlike some other modern Unixen which support a blend of the two 
interfaces (SysV and BSD)...  FWIW, ps -e works on Linux too, and I'd 
suggest also adding -lf for more interesting output.  That combination 
does actually show some interesting info that ps ax or even ps aux 
does not...  The -lf options show parent process relationships and 
nice values, while ps aux shows memory and cpu usage, which are all 
interesting when your system is misbehaving and you're trying to find 
out why...
