Process data too long to be viewed within window

[Woo Kim Chye]

Hi,
Wonder if this has been posted before. In my environment, I have a lot of user processes which are too long to be viewed within the term window. For eg, I have a process shown below when I run the ps -ef | grep command:

diffus1 18366 1 0 13:29:03 ? 0:00 spc_server -l/sgp-spc-home/diffus1/tmp/logs/jetmospc10 -sspc

For the above process, the parameters are too long to be seen within the window. Does anyone know how to see all the parameters that extend beyond the window display.

Thanks.

Try piping it to xargs.

ps -?? ?? | xargs

The limitation you are seeing is more likely to be with the maximum output of ps rather than the width of a terminal window. You will need to use the "ps -x" option to see really long parameter lists. That is first available in patches such as PHCO_26274 for 11.00. There are fixes for some "ps -x" troubles in patches such as PHCO_30397 for 11.11.
