How do you extend the output of ps -fe in Solaris so that it displays more than 80 characters? My process has several arguments and the process name could not be displayed anymore.

You can't display them with the default ps (/usr/bin/ps) which is a SVR4 regular one.

To get the full argument line, use the BSD ps (UCB = University of California at Berkeley):

/usr/ucb/ps -alxwww
