Newer versions of ps no longer require the "-" to denote arguments. Hence when you run ps -aux you get the following error: warning: `-' deprecated; use `ps aux', not `ps -aux'
In your ~/.bash_profile (for per user) or /etc/profile (for system) add the following lines: I_WANT_A_BROKEN_PS=1 export I_WANT_A_BROKEN_PS Be sure to see the man page for ps for details.
man ps
