If you want a repetitive update of the selection and the

.P
By default, \fBps\fR selects all processes with the same effective user
ID (EUID) as the curent user and associated with the same terminal as the
invoker. It displays the process ID (PID), the terminal (tty) associated
with the process (TTY), the cumulated CPU time in [dd\-]hh:mm:ss format
(TIME), and the executable name (CMD). The use of BSD\-style options
will add process state (STAT) to the default display. The use of BSD\-style
options will also change the process selection to include processes
on other terminals (TTYs) that are owned by you; alternately, this may
be described as setting the selection to be the set of all processes
filtered to exclude processes owned by other users or not on a terminal.
Output is unsorted by default.
.P
Except as described below, process selection options are additive.
The default selection is discarded, and then the selected processes
are added to the set of processes to be displayed.
A\ process will thus be shown if it meets any of the selection
criteria.

The use of BSD\-style options will add process state (STAT) to the
default display and show the command args (COMMAND) instead of the
executable name. You can override this with the \fBPS_FORMAT\fR
environment variable. The use of BSD\-style options will also change the
process selection to include processes on other terminals (TTYs) that
are owned by you; alternately, this may be described as setting the
selection to be the set of all processes filtered to exclude
processes owned by other users or not on a terminal. These effects
are not considered when options are described as being "identical" below,
so \fB\-M\fR will be considered identical to \fBZ\fR and so on.
