>Description:

 ps without any options also shows me processes without controlling terminal.
 The manpage says that I should use the -x option to achieve that...

 Here's an extract of my ps output:

  275 ??  IW+    0:00.08 /bin/sh /usr/X11R6/bin/startx 
  280 ??  IW+    0:00.31 xinit /home/lorenz/.xinitrc -- 
  281 ??  S      0:42.42 X :0 (Xsun24)
  285 ??  IW     0:00.08 /bin/sh /home/lorenz/.xinitrc 
  292 ??  S      0:01.87 fvwm 
  294 ??  S      0:05.96 swisswatch 
  295 ??  S      0:00.88 xload 
  297 ??  S      0:00.44 xclock 

 Or is the output of ps just broken and the processes do have a controlling
 terminal? How can I test that?
