For those interested in the historical background:
the Sun "ps aux" is rooted in the Berkely Unix
tradition (BSD), whereas "ps -ef" is rooted
in the AT&T System V tradition.
Berkeley and System V used to be the main contenders
for the "true Unix" crown. Largely nobody cared,
so they eventually saw the light and unified.
I'm getting too old...
