Hi all,

Thanks for all the tremendous response ... My apology for not mentioning that the OS is Solaris.

/usr/ucb/ps -auwwwx does the trick although pargs is very helpful too. Unfortunately as some of you had mentioned, the command is OS dependent so while /usr/ucb/ps -auwwwx works in Solaris, it does not on HP-UX ...Smilie grrrr ....

I know am asking for some sort of miracle here, but is there an equivalent of the /usr/ucb/ps -auwwwx command that will work across all or most UNIX flavours?

Sample output of the /usr/ucb/ps -auwwwx output as below:

Code:
# /usr/ucb/ps -auwwwx | more
USER       PID %CPU %MEM   SZ  RSS TT       S    START  TIME COMMAND

Hi,

So far, you have the best answer Smilie

There is no variant of the "ps" command which gives the full command arguments (you get as much as the kernel chooses to record) and no syntax which is common across all unix variants.

The nearest you'll get from HP-UX is to invoke the alternative format for "ps" by using "UNIX95= " and ask for the extended arguments list. Note that the space character after the equals sign is important.
For example to show Process ID, User, Extended arguments:
Code:
UNIX95= ps -exo pid,user,args
