    That's why you have your shell rc file set up aliases. A few snips
    from mine:

    -----
    case "FREEBSD":
    case "UNKNOWN":
        alias p 'ps -agOuser'
        alias psa 'ps -gaxuww \!* | $PAGER'
        breaksw
    case "SOLARIS":
        alias p '/usr/ucb/ps -agu'
        alias psa '/usr/ucb/ps -gaxuww \!* | $PAGER'
        breaksw
    case "LINUX"
        alias p 'ps ua'
        alias psa 'ps axuww \!* | $PAGER'
        breaksw
    -----

    And so on.

    True, not perhaps as nice as them actually being the same, but what
    fun would THAT be? :)
