Result of ps -ef ¦grep **

[Janghyegyung]

I'm afraid this would be silly question.

On the same server, I had different output after executing #ps -ef |grep java. A few days ago, it displayed only one line per one process even though full description of the process was too long. It didn't display the right position over some point.

Now, it displays full description-more than 15 lines per one-of the process.

What brings this output variously? server-dependent or client dependent? It's not critical, but want to know.

sounds like your 'term' or 'TERM' setting is affecting the display. ps -ef will always output the same information, but its how your terminal deals with long lines which is affecting the display.

Try echo TERM if usink ksh or
echo term if using csh or bourne shell

Another application may be changing this.
