Question Display full command (including options) information in running

Suppose I am a Unix user, not a root.

I can see all commands in running by ps -elf, or some similar commands. Such commands may be submit by other Unix users.
Is there a way that I can display those commands with their full parameters/options. For example, I can see a user is running "ls" command. But I am not sure the options he used. His actual commands may be in a form of ls -al. How can I see this detail?

Smilie
Best regards,
Miedy
