I used the command ps aux.  I think that lists ALL processes.  I usually
use grep to filter them out.  This is what I got tho:

root@smoker / # ps aux | grep bash
dale      7254  0.0  0.0   3044   572 ?        S    Sep19   0:00
/bin/bash /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher
root      7704  0.0  0.0   1888   516 pts/0    S+   15:01   0:00 grep
--colour=auto bash
root@smoker / #

Obviously the bottom one is the command I typed in.  I did this in a
Konsole within KDE.  I don't got to a actual Console to much.  Note the
K and the C on those.
