The "code" is this:
px=()
{
    ps auxwww | grep "[${1:0:1}]${1:1}"
}
$ px fet # ;-)

I.e. when I see no new news for some time, I run this px alias to see 
hung fetch{news,mail} processes and kill them manually. This could of 
course be done in ip-down, but its happening not very often, so I don't 
care.
