There still is no ps xf on Mac OS X.
You need brew install pstree for that. Then you can excute pstree which gives you a treeview of the processes running.

I’m still amazed this is not in stock Mac OS X:
In Finder > Select a folder > Right click, we get a popup with an option to create a new folder:Is there a way to add menu item New Textfile for adding a new text file?

Most sites explaining how to decompress an xz file mention you should use unxz from the xz utils toolbox.
Running unzx on Msc OS X requires the xz formula from homebrew:
$ brew install xz
==> Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/xz-5.2.2.mavericks.bottle.tar.gz
######################################################################## 100.0%
==> Pouring xz-5.2.2.mavericks.bottle.tar.gz

It looks like when syncing folders between Mac OS X (MacOS X?) and Windows, many directories get empty Icon? files have a size of 0 bytes.
None of these directories had custom icons, so I’m inclined to remove them all from the Google Drive folder:
find . -name 'Icon*' -size 0 -print0 | xargs -0 rm
as [WayBack] Didier Trosset answered at [WayBack] How to delete many 0 byte files in linux? – Stack Overflow
Before I do that, I need to read these in more detail:

Like many, I’m a digital packrat. Somehow all your storage space somehow becomes full over time. But sometimes that’s not because just you are a digital packrat. Applications can be digital packrats too.
Chrome is such an example as on Mac OS X it will keep every prior version filed under /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/Versions. In my case GrandPerspective showed it as one big blob of close 20 gigabyte. Which is odd as the download itself is was slightly short of 20 gigabyte of Chrome versions.
There are various ways to clean up this by script, but I find the easiest to do this in Finder:
- From Grand Perspective, right click the entry, then choose “Reveal in Finder”
- In Finder, right click the entry, then choose “Show Package Contents”
- In Finder, with the expanded “Contents” folder, browse to the “Versions” folder and expand it.
- From Finder, delete unwanted versions.

Great tool: [WayBack] htop – an interactive process viewer for Unix because it’s both interactive and supports a wide range of OSes: Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Mac OS X.
Thanks to Warren Postma who suggested it in his comment at [WayBack] 18 Useful Commands to Get Hardware Information on Linux – Linuxslaves.
Note that on OS X you get this warning after brew install htop :
htop requires root privileges to correctly display all running processes,
so you will need to run `sudo htop`.
You should be certain that you trust any software you grant root privileges.
On Linux you don’t get this message as there you have the /proc file system providing enough information as explained at [WayBack] osx – Why does htop on Mac OS X require root privileges to see data for all processes, but on Linux it runs without root – Super User.
A workaround (involving the setuid bit) is at [WayBack] Running htop on Mac OS X needs root. Why?! | Blog | JoeNyland.me or by running visudo ensuring you don’t need a password for it at [WayBack] osx – htop isn’t returning CPU or memory usage!? – Super User

Free and – unlike the also free [WayBack] dupeGuru – finds duplicate files – hasn’t crashed on my system yet or fails to add folders:
Read reviews, compare customer ratings, see screenshots, and learn more about Duplicate File Finder for files & folders. Download Duplicate File Finder for files & folders for Mac OS X 10.9 or later and enjoy it on your Mac.
