Easy-to-remember flags

[Mischa Spiegelmock]

And to think some people actually have the nerve to claim UNIX-style  
operating systems are not user-friendly!
Here we are, in the year two thousand and six of our Lord, and UNIX  
commands still somehow manage to be as hateful as ever.
Anyway, the subject of my hate tonight is the command to list  
processes, also known as "ps." (Which may I point out is a horribly  
unintuitive name in itself, but I digress).

I'm sitting there trying to remember how to display output in "tree"  
mode.
The ps usage tells me, and I quote: "f    ASCII art forest"
It's a forest because it has trees. Get it?
Great UNIX, just great.

Hatefully yours,
