ps -ef is a good command to monitor process running in HP-UX. The e option selects all processes, and the f option sets the output format.
# ps -ef UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME COMD root 0 0 80 Jan 12 ? 0:04 init.rc0 root 22 1 0 Jan 12 ? 0:01 etc/rbind root 34 222 2 Jan 12 ? 0:03 /usr/lib/sendmail-bd root 78 4455 11 Jan 12 ? 0:02 /share/bin/man root 89 8768 32 Jan 12 pts/3 0:02 ps root 99 9798 0 Jan 12 pts/3 0:01 ps-ef
