hrm@selene:~ $ ps -ef
UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
[...]
root      4099  4055  0 17:33 pts/3    00:00:00 grep --color thunderbird


UID = user running the process.
PID = process ID
PPID = parent process ID
C = CPU usage (%)
STIME = start time
TTY = pseudo-terminal that the process is attached to
TIME = total CPU usage
CMD = command -- in this case, it's the grep process you ran to find
things with "thunderbird" in (which has the word "thunderbird"
appears, obviously)
