TTY filter for ps

The ps output can be selected by specifying the TTY to which the process is attached. Use the -t option to specify the TTY list:

    $ ps -t TTY1, TTY2 ..

Here's an example of this:

    $ ps -t pts/0,pts/1
      PID TTY          TIME CMD
     1238 pts/0    00:00:00 bash
     1835 pts/1    00:00:00 bash
     1864 pts/0    00:00:00 ps
