You got a better ucb/ps than me. As root I only get 80 chars no matter
how many "w"'s I use : >
/usr/ucb/ps axwww|grep '^ 755'|awk 'sub(" 755 \?\? S 0:00
","")1'| wc -c
80
What OS? It works fine on a Solaris express box I happened to be on,
but I can try it on some others.

SPARC u3 patched to the nines and x86 Express b65
At first I wondered if the box was suspect but on a totally different
arch I get the same...
I am not comfortable with the diffs between our systems
and Id like to sort this out.

Been getting some odd results from patchadd -p as well recently.

That's why I said the information may not completely exist.

What do you get instead?

# pargs -l 1076
pargs: target has corrupted argument list
Both systems as root or otherwise.
a truss of the process seems ok at first glance.

I'd be more nervous if the x86 box behaved differently but it doesnt.
But Im still uncomfortable.
