Because your screensaver isn't running? :)
Actually... no!
The reason it does not return anything is because you are asking for
ps -aux | grep ScreenSaver
had you run the following
ps -aux | grep ScreenSa
then it would have worked...
It is the number of characters that decide whether or not something is
going to be returned.
When one types:
ps -aux | grep ...
one spawns a process, namely the grep process, so it should always
return something, unless apparently, if the
process name is more than 8 characters long!
Why 8 characters, now, this beats me!!!
