Hmmmmm. If you could su root you could write some kind of wrapper around
ps (shell script) that would do this :
ps aux | grep -v yourusername
This would return only lines that do not contain your username in them.
This is kindof lame, but it's about the only way I can figure out how to
do it other than getting the source code for ps and recoding, compiling,
and installing it on your system. Other utilities such as 'top' would
probably have to be recoded, too. If you can never get root access,
forget it ! :-) Can you copy the executable and rename it to cloak its
identity ?
Hope this helps...
