Viewing full output of PS command
when I run ps -aux command on my linux server, to which I connected using putty, few processes are too long to fit in my current window width. Is there an alternative?

I am sorry for downgrading,I thought others won't find the answer useful too, so I downgraded.
Here is the info you asked for.

Answer
Using the auxww flags, you will see the full path to output in both your terminal window and from shell scripts.
darragh@darraghserver ~ $uname -a
SunOS darraghserver 5.10 Generic_142901-13 i86pc i386 i86pc
darragh@darraghserver ~ $which ps
/usr/bin/ps<br>
darragh@darraghserver ~ $/usr/ucb/ps auxww | grep ps
darragh 13680 0.0 0.0 3872 3152 pts/1 O 14:39:32 0:00 /usr/ucb/ps -auxww
darragh 13681 0.0 0.0 1420 852 pts/1 S 14:39:32 0:00 grep ps
ps aux lists all processes executed by all users. See man ps for details. The ww flag sets unlimited width.
-w Wide output. Use this option twice for unlimited width.
w Wide output. Use this option twice for unlimited width.
