Generally you use ps command to find out all running process. You may also pipe out ps command output via grep command to pickup desired output.

Basically you don’t want display grep command as the process.

Let us run combination of ps and grep command to find out all perl processes:
$ ps aux | grep perl
Output:

vivek      4611  0.0  0.7  10044  6068 ?        Ss   02:40   0:00 /usr/bin/perl apps/monitor/gwl.pl
root      4853  0.0  0.7  10044  6068 ?        Ss   02:40   0:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/share/webmin/miniserv.pl /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf
vivek      5166  0.0  0.0   2884   748 pts/0    R+   03:06   0:00 grep perl

In above example you are getting the grep process itself. To ignore grep process from output, type any one of the following:
$ ps aux | grep perl | grep -v grep
OR
$ ps aux | grep '[p]erl'
