width of command in ps


What is this stuff?

If this isn't exactly what you wanted, please try our Search (there's a LOT of techy and non-techy stuff here about Linux, Unix, Mac OS X and just computers in general!):

Apparently the suggestion below for increasing ps argument width was wishful thinking, see http://groups.google.com/group/comp.unix.sco.programmer/browse_frm/thread/81e724749d35eb8b/92eb0c844b35c8c7#92eb0c844b35c8c7

No.  From /usr/include/sys/user.h:














#define PSARGSZ         80      /* Space in u-block for exec arguments */
                                /* Used by ps command */
