Extend ps output to more than 80 characters in Solaris 8

How do you extend the output of ps -fe in Solaris so that it displays more than 80 characters? My process has several arguments and the process name could not be displayed anymore.

Solution

  • You can't display them with the default ps (/usr/bin/ps) which is a SVR4 regular one.

    To get the full argument line, use the BSD ps (UCB = University of California at Berkeley):

    /usr/ucb/ps -alxwww
