Sorry for being so noob...
Not sure what you're trying to do here. "ps -ef" shows the currently running apps, and it's not necessarily straightforward to see which are in rootfs and which aren't (some use symlinks so they "appear" to be in the rootfs).

The easiest way of seeing which applications are on the rootfs is to use StorageUsage (unfortunately, still in extras-devel) - this flags in red those apps using significant rootfs space (it's currently inaccurate on python apps though).

Alternately the scripts I posted here can be used to show all apps using rootfs space, or to query the usage of individual apps.

As for battery-eye, that's optified (in /opt/battery-eye) - what's running from /usr/bin there is the python interpreter, which is in the rootfs (though most of the libraries it uses aren't) and probably ought to remain there for performance reasons.
