I was just looking through the file /usr/src/TODO, and ran across this
item. I thought that the general agreement was that ps should not be
changed, and that anyone wanting this should just run ps -ww | grep foo
(or alias ps to do that or whatever). (sorry if this is not the case, since I
lost about a days worth of mail when this discussion was going on)
> TASKID: 950316001
> TASK: Make ps use infinite texwidth for redirected output
> DETAIL: { When you do a ps | grep foo, if foo is long and the screen width is
> shorter then grep never sees foo because ps truncates its output. It makes
> more sense for ps to do no truncation at all if its output is redirected. }
