    This question appears to be off-topic because it is about basic unix/linux knowledge which is not sysadmin-specific.

  • The general approach to this problem is to install the BSD version of ps which DOES support the ww flag. In response to the off topic claims, I'd call this a duplicate long before I would call a question concerning a SunOS machine off topic.. stackoverflow.com/questions/5589598/…

ps -efww will not restrict the width of a line.

w means "wide". ww means "unlimited width".

  • @user590444: What OS are you on? "Unix" tell us next to nothing.

  • This works on Linux. Read the manual page man ps and try some options listed there, that's all I did.
