so instead write:
bahamontes $ ps -ax|grep '[n]tpd'
23336 ?? Is 0:00.11 ntpd: [priv] (ntpd)
10490 ?? I 0:10.36 ntpd: ntp engine (ntpd)
or use "pgrep", that's what it's for.
$ ps -ax | grep '[n]tp'
16051 ?? Is 0:01.18 ntpd: [priv] (ntpd)
32439 00- I 0:27.43 ntpd: ntp engine (ntpd)
$ pgrep -u _ntp ntpd
32439
$ pgrep -u root ntpd
