try: ps -H

not sure what other flags can be combined with it, but

   ps -eH           lists all processes
   ps -H -u root    lists all processes owned by root
   ps -fH           gives you more info on default processes
   ps -efH          gives you more info on all processes

you can use -l, -j, or -o '...' with a user-defined output format instead of
-f.

if you insist on the bsd format flags, try: ps fx

and fiddle from there. the man page is potentially helpful.
