process_owner_by_pid.md

In order to see a name of user starting a process with a given PID the command bellow could be helpful:

ps ho user -p `cat /some/pid/file`

Entering a dash before h argument doesn't work on Linux with the following error message:

Warning: bad syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'?

dash before o argument works okay.
