In the GNU utils, ps auxf gives the process list with forest (tree). Is there a equivalent for this command at BSD / OS X systems?

Is it desperately important that you use a command line version of it? If you just want to see the tree, why not use "Activity Monitor" and choose "All Processes, Hierarchically"? – AlanGBaker Oct 28 '11 at 22:45

pstree is generally part of the default install or easily installable on bsd systems. That's what I use. For example, you can install it via macports on a mac.

Too bad that ps doesn't have this ability, but I'll manage myself with pstree. Thanks for mentioning it! – vdboor Oct 31 '11 at 14:37
