background (hidden) processes

[Rich Andrews]

I have been running accounting here and have yet to see any sort of activity
(ps -ef) and yet i know that every time a command is entered it is logged to the
appropriate disk file.

        What is the mechanism involved here and how does it "hide" from the
ps -ef output?
