                             output in this column may contain spaces.  A
                             process marked <defunct> is partly dead, waiting
                             to be fully destroyed by its parent.  Sometimes
                             the process args will be unavailable; when this
                             happens, ps will instead print the executable
                             name in brackets.  (alias cmd, command).  See
                             also the comm format keyword, the -f option, and
                             the c option.
                             When specified last, this column will extend to
                             the edge of the display.  If ps can not determine
                             display width, as when output is redirected
                             (piped) into a file or another command, the
                             output width is undefined (it may be 80,
                             unlimited, determined by the TERM variable, and
                             so on).  The COLUMNS environment variable or
                             --cols option may be used to exactly determine
                             the width in this case.  The w or -w option may
                             be also be used to adjust width.

So if ps isn't abiding by your terminal width, be sure the COLUMNS variable is set to a sane value in the user environment and exported, etc.


Thanks but its not working, changed the COLUMNS variable. One thing which works is command line option of --cols which is not desirable as already stated by me in my original question. The value of COLUMNS is 168 but I see that ps command is showing output of much higher width.
