ps outputs in space-aligned tabular format, so there might be whitespace before the PID in the output table (add chars to get over 5-char quota)

I'm actually looking for a single step option to ps or pgrep (or similar) which only outputs "active" processes... Post filtering like this relies on a full understanding of the intial output, which I don't have... eg. [gnuserv] <defunct> took me conpletely by surprise (what other surprises can I expect?..
