Here is an example of output from a 'ps'


   PID    TTY  TIME CMD
  8571 pts/28  0:02 cu -s2400 -d 16498696585041 
 19592 pts/28  4:01 cu -s2400 -d 16498696585041

 28128 pts/28  0:01 -sh 
 38877 pts/28  0:00 -ksh 
 39030 pts/28  0:00 ps 


What does the - sign mean in front of sh and ksh?

Thanks!
