pargs gives full information about the arguments
Code:
ps -eo pid,args | grep "[C]opy" | while read pid args; do pargs $pid; done

using this command :
Code:
ps -eo pid,args | grep "[C]opy" | while read pid args; do pargs $pid; done

still the output is truncated Smilie

You find the "code" tag at the top of the Wiki editor.

You must be root or the process owner in order to see all process arguments.
This is because one needs to access the private process environment, and for security reason this is denied for other users.
There might be a setting in /etc/system to allow this.

m1:/export/home/vbe $ uname -r

I see no trunking here... but I remember there is a limit on the length of what can be displayed...

Solaris has a limit of 80 characters for args in the global ps table.
Everything beyond 80 characters requires exploring each process environment.
In Solaris 10 /usr/ucb/ps belongs to package SUNWscpu, it's a hard-link to /usr/lib/isaexec.
In Solaris 11 the /usr/bin/ps has been extended to support auxwww (no leading dash, just like GNU ps).
