Full display from ps -ef command

Does anyone have an idea of how to display the full line output from a ps -ef
command. If for example I enter ps -ef|grep nettl the output is cut at 109
characters.

If you are refering to the command line output I am pretty sure it is
restricted to something like 80 chars

If I remove all of the "white" space it does drop to around 80 Characters but I
would of thought that this would be included ?

The ps -ef command does give all the output to your tty.

I'm assuming that you are running from the console or a terminal (ASCII). If
it is a hp terminal, try changing the no. of columns to 132 and issue the ps
command. You can see all the output without wrapping around or truncated at
the edge.

If it is a graphic interface, well, you can increase the width.

If it is from a PC (telnet withing windows eg.,), you cannot do anything.

Hope you got the picture.

Good luck.
