ps -e on Unix displays “every process running on the system”.
Not on every *ix. On FreeBSD, if you give -a (the BSD equivalent of -e) as an unprivileged user, you can't see other people's processes, for security reasons.
It would be nice if every *ixes worked exactly like every other, but they don't, and never have. Your scripts have to be able to cope.
