ps column width truncated in FreeBSD

ps aux | grep mongo

in zsh, for example, outputs

/usr/local/bin/mongod --logpath /var/db/mongodb/mongod.log --logappend --config /usr/local/etc/mongodb.conf --dbpath /var/db/mong

You can see that it runs off the screen and gets cutoff at the end.

In FreeBSD, how can I see the full output?

Solution

  • Use the -w option (repeated if necessary). Try:

    ps auxwww | grep mongo
