I noticed that if I try someting like:

ps -ux | sort -rk 3 | head -n 25

or

ps f -e | grep perl

I get back the correct lines, but they are always truncated to 80 lines?

It seems to me that this is the doing of the ps command (if it thinks
it's being piped?)

Is there any way to force it to give full lines?

Thanks for any help.

Look in the man page for the "--cols" or "--columns" option. It's
amazing what you can find in the man pages!
