What's the complement of `top -u`?

  • 772

The top -u mary command allows me to see all jobs running by user mary. What is the command to show the complement of that: all top processes except the jobs running by mary?

command-line

  1. This command will exclude all processes having mary as a user or process name:

    top | grep -v mary

  2. Similar to kamil's answer but doesn't exclude (hypothetical) processes named mary:

    top | awk '$3 != "mary"'
