Use 'pgrep [-u UID/USERNAME] pattern' or adjust ps output to only
display what interests you, e.g.:

$ ps -eo pid,cmd
$ ps -eo pid,cmd | awk '$2 ~ /pattern/ { print $1; }'
$ ps -eo pid,cmd | awk '$2 == "string" { print $1; }'

etc.

Or try 'pidof' (which needs the exact command-name and might return
mismatches).
