I am trying to think of a good way to let my users only see their own processes, and I am not much of a programmer... I was thinking of making a bash script that would do ps only showing the user's processes, replacing the ps command with that, and changing ps's name to something that no one would think of... but... before I do... I was wondering, are there any system resources that use PS? ... anything I should be worried about in this scenario?
