It's Solaris hence your ps -aux won't work.  prstat is one more commonly used tool.

prstat is good command for displaying long listing of all process also it will display  Total number of  process  at  the  end  of  the  output . it will display in following manner.
PID    USERNAME     SIZE     RSS      STATE     PRI    NICE      TIME  CPU     PROCESS/NLWP 


I don't about NLWP at the end of this output, if anybod have knowledge please let me know.

"ps -aef"  must be good I guess..

For some services known you would use something like below..

ps -aef | grep -lp  ... lpd daemon would be running for printer services
ps -aef | grep -i smb ... smb would be running for samba service..
also
ps -aef | grep -i nmb ... also nmbd wud b running for samba
ps -aef | grep -i nfs ... nfsd daemon for NFS
ps -aef | grep -i yp ... ypserv daemon for NIS
