Extended process list in Solaris 10 and HPUX, without truncated lines

Some processes typically have a very long list (more than 1000 characters) with command line arguements  and ps –ef | grep <pid> will show only one line (max 80 characters). Both solaris and hpux have extensions through which we can view the full command line, without truncation.


To retrieve the full process list for a process by running ps

on Solaris :-
/usr/ucb/ps –agxuwwwww PID

On HPUX :-
ps –exx
