Hi All

When issuing a "ps -ef" you'll get a full listing of processes on the system, but there is an 80 character limit when displaying the command that is actually running. Has anyone found a way around this, or perhaps an alternative "ps" command that I can build?

TIA
Rick
 
Not sure what controls the ps command character limit. But, the old ps command in /usr/ucb/ps does not have this limit.

example: /usr/ucb/ps -aux
