Any script that relies on 'ps' output parsing is probably unportable
from the get-go.
Your script will also fail on most FreeBSD machines, for example. On
FreeBSD, there is a kernel build option that is often set which prevents
user space from *ever* seeing command line options. It's a security
feature, since there are all kinds of things you can learn about other
users if you are allowed to see the parameters they pass to their commands.
That aside, you'll also find that different implementations of ps use
different column orders, etc.
Still, if you *must* do this, you can install the 'procps' package. Its
procps.exe command behaves like ps on Linux.
