/usr/ucb/ps truncating at 80 characters?
Greetings,
I'm running into a problem that I suspect might be caused by a security patch on SunOS 5.8. I have several scripts that grep the output of "/usr/ucb/ps awwx", in order to identify the PID for several java processes. Unfortunately, this does not appear to be working any longer- the PS command is truncating at 80 characters. Looking through the SunSolve site shows that there is a patch for PS to prevent other user process information from being viewed (document 102215).
However, the user ID that starts the script is the same ID used to run the process. And the problem isn't in finding the process with ps- the results are truncating at 80 characters, even when using /usr/ucb/ps with the ww switch. Is this the result of an OS patch that anyone is aware of? Furthermore, is there any way for me to view the entire process without truncation, if I own the process?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Eric
