ps COMMAND column

ps COMMAND column

[Paul McFerrin]

Is there a way to get "ps" to display more on the COMMAND column?

It appears to display only argv[0] and none of the others.  So when 
executing ksh scripts, they all show up as "ksh".  Or if you have 
multiple executions of a single command, it makes it hard to identify 
which one you want to kill off.

Doesn't look like it.  But try

$ pstree -a
$ procps -f
$ procps -F

Use the "procps" command instead.  It works like the "ps" command on
Linux.  For example I use the following command:
    procps -e -o user,pid,ppid,sess,tty8,start,time,cmd -w 160

Ehud.
