Get full command name from ps

Jump to Comments

Tired of seeing only some of the command/process information when you type ps?

For example, typing

ps -aux

will fill only to the edge of your screen.
If your screen is less than 132 characters wide, you can expand your line to that mark with

ps -auxw

and excess will wrap to the next line.
However if you just want to see it all, add a second w

ps -auxww

This will show everything, wrapping when necessary.
