Complete command list/argument using ps
Hi,

Using ps, I can't work out what is the right options to use to show full listing of the process or command, can someone please advise what options I should be using?


Example output of a "trimmed" process is as below and I know this is not the complete command line that I've executed, basically I want to show the full listing just as how I executed it from the command line.

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Code:
 
devtest  7077  2933  0 18:27:55 pts/tg    1:07 imp devtest/tester@TEST ROWS=Y IGNORE=Y FILE=PRODUCTIONSUMMARY.dmp CONSTRAINTS=N

This is OS dependant.

with root or PID owner.

/usr/ucb/ps -auwwwx

There is much variation in the "ps" commans. What Operating System and version you you have?

I tend to use "ps aux wwwf", this provides a wide output with "f" giving you the full path output.

Some OS limit the maximum output size. This thread lists Solaris as an example.
Code:
man ps

may tell you if your OS has such limits too.

Should you need the non truncated argument list with Solaris, there is the "pargs" command.
