How to avoid truncating in ps output ?
Hello,
This is Solaris 10 (x86)
Code:
bash-3.2# cat /etc/release
                        Solaris 10 5/09 s10x_u7wos_08 X86
           Copyright 2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc.  All Rights Reserved.
                        Use is subject to license terms.
                             Assembled 30 March 2009
bash-3.2#

I am not able to figure out, how to avoid trucating in ps output. I want full path, but is is cutting lines in the last. Even if I redirect output to a file, it is same.
I tried multiple ways, but still same
Code:
bash-3.2# /usr/ucb/ps -wwwwwaux | grep syslog-ng | egrep -v grep
