Coooool!  Thanks a lot.
I didn't realize I wasted so much CPU and lines of code.

Just a copy&paste error :-(

I copied from a function in my .zsh/alias that I use regularily:

 alias psl='ps -eo user,pid,ppid,s,cpu,pmem,rss,vsize,bsdstart,etime,bsdtime,cmd --sort user,pid | /bin/grep -v "etime,bsdtime,cmd"'
 look () { psl | /bin/grep -iE "(^USER|$*)" | /bin/grep -v "grep -iE" }

There I am searching case-insensitively because I also like to search for
process names.

Wonderful!  To avoid that $ps contains the ps process itself I combined
your two suggestions:
 ps="$(/bin/grep -v 'etime,bsdtime,cmd' =(ps -eo user,pid,ppid,s,cpu,pmem,rss,vsize,bsdstart,etime,bsdtime,cmd))" 

Is that ok / efficient?

Oh, too bad.  Actually I _do_ want to see X connections and the like
Is there a way to achieve this?

Right.  I wanted to avoid the extra "ps" on machines where xsel doesn't
exist.  But your version is a lot smarter.

Thank you again!
 Andy.
