ps v 2

[Dagon]

Is there any way to stop "ps v" wrapping its output onto the next line. For one particular process I get:

PID TTY STAT TIME PGIN SIZE RSS LIM TSIZ TRS %CPU %MEM COMMAND
63708 - A 122:54 23739 20524 24784 32768 27161 9192 5.9 2.0 oraclePF
M

It seems to insert a carriage return at the 80th character. This messes up the awk script I was going to use to analyze the output.

I've tried stty columns and setting the COLUMNS environment variable.

 

[gheist]

w Specifies a wide-column format for output (132 columns rather than 80). If repeated, (for example, ww), uses arbitrarily wide output. This information is used to decide how much of long commands to print.

so

ps wv

It does produce a wider output but it still wraps this line at the 170th character:

ps wv 63708
PID TTY STAT TIME PGIN SIZE RSS LIM TSIZ TRS %CPU %MEM COMMAND
63708 - A 125:16 23739 20524 24868 32768 27161 9276 6.0 2.0 oraclePFMIS01 (DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq
)

I tried increasing COLUMNS and stty columns 200, but that didn't help.

ps wwv

That seems to work. Thanks a lot.
