See that symbol right above the "backslash" key? That's the pipe symbol. You
use it thusly:
ps aux | grep startx
The vertical "bar" is the "pipe" symbol. Basically it just means "redirect." In
the example above, I'm piping "ps aux" through "grep" looking for "startx."
ONLY lines with "startx" will show (which includes the above command line.)
