'man ps' gives me:

   PROCESS SELECTION BY LIST
       Switch    Description
       -C        select by command name

and

   OUTPUT MODIFIERS
       Switch         Description
       C              use raw CPU time for %CPU instead of decaying average

(procps version 2.0.7 under Linux 2.4.18 kernel).

The 'ps -C' line I quoted works on my system, but evidently not all ps's
are alike! So back to the drawing board ...
