Show complete command on command line when we use 'ps'
Hi,
When I query using ps -ef, the complete command is not displayed and is truncated.
Can you please tell me a method to resolve this ?
I have tried the below.
Code:
ps -ef | cat
ps -ef | grep imp >/tmp/t1.txt
/usr/ucb/ps -auxw
pargs <pid>
/usr/ucb/ps -aefyl | grep imp

Thanks

you can try with the -o Option, this is needed to define how ps displays the results

example:
Code:
[testsrv880ps:root] # ps -efo args
COMMAND
/usr/sbin/smbd -D
/usr/lib/sendmail -Ac -q15m
/usr/apache2/bin/httpd -k start
/usr/lib/inet/xntpd
/usr/sbin/rpcbind
/usr/lib/utmpd
/usr/lib/inet/inetd start
/usr/sbin/smbd -D
/usr/lib/saf/ttymon
/lib/svc/bin/svc.startd
/usr/sbin/nscd
/usr/apache2/bin/httpd -k start
/usr/lib/ssh/sshd
splunkd -p 8089 start
/usr/lib/crypto/kcfd
/usr/lib/rcap/rcapd
/usr/sadm/lib/smc/bin/smcboot
/usr/lib/autofs/automountd
/usr/lib/saf/sac -t 300
/usr/apache2/bin/httpd -k start
/usr/lib/nfs/lockd
/usr/lib/nfs/nfsmapid
/usr/lib/autofs/automountd
/usr/lib/nfs/nfs4cbd
/usr/apache2/bin/httpd -k start
....

shows me only the command of a process...

On my Solaris boxes that command prints without truncation. What are you seeing when you execute it?

Have you tried:

Code:
/usr/ucb/ps auxwww

The full command line is only displayed if you own the process or if you have root privilege or equivalent.
You can use
Code:
/usr/ucb/ps -alxww

or, if ucb isn't installed
Code:
pargs <pid>

or even
Code:
pargs /proc/*
