ps will show your running processes. If run from a regular user shell or an xterm window, it'll only show you your processes. If run as root, it will show all processes.

There were different switches used in different versions of ps -- historically, SysV needs the -ef switches to show all processes and BSD needed -aux. ps is now smarter and will accept either switch and show you what you wanted to see.
