PHP artisan and tinkerwell opening phpstorm automatically

Wondering if anyone has ran into this issue, has been pretty annoying.

Whenever I run php artisan horizon on my mac to start the worker, for some reason it opens phpstorm. Phpstorm will error with "cannot execute command "/aux"

This also happens when I open Tinkerwell. Phpstorm will open and error saying it cannot find file "/ax"

Turns out when PhpStorm was installed, that it replaced the native "ps" command on Mac to launch their own program. Removed the symlink in /usr/bin and this cleared up. Below was the log file from Tinkerwell that tipped me off to the cause.

Looks like horizon may also use "ps" to check if it has an existing running process.
