solaris 2.5.1 /usr/ucb/ps truncation problems
we aheva couple of old sun OS boxes, that we are trying to parse /usr/ucb/ps output.
However it seems that something is occuring that is causeing th output of "/usr/ucb/ps -auxwww" to cut short the process name, whereas "ps -eaf" can display the entire process name.
It will work for a while following a system reboot, but would liek to understand what might cause it to be shortened.
When it is shortened output, the command name always gets truncated at the same spot.
Thanks

Hi I need to subtract one day from date1=`/bin/date +%d`
So I used
date=`/usr/ucb/expr $date1 - 1`
The only thing is if date1 is a single digit like 08, date will be 8 instead of 08.
How can I avoid losing 0?
Thanks for all your help!!! (4 Replies)
