Eu provavelmente encontrei a resposta para sua pergunta
on Stack Overflow . Nas palavras de Dennis Williamson :
It is likely that you're using a pager such as less or most since the
output of ps aux is longer than a screenful. If so, the following
options will cause (or force) long lines to wrap instead of being
truncated.
ps aux | less -+S
ps aux | most -w
If you use either of the following commands, lines
won't be wrapped but you can use your arrow keys or other movement
keys to scroll left and right.
ps aux | less -S
# use arrow keys, or Esc+( and Esc+), or Alt+( and
Alt+)
ps aux | most
# use arrow keys, or < and > (Tab can also be used
to scroll right) Lines are always wrapped for more and pg.
When ps aux
is used in a pipe, the w option is unnecessary since ps
only uses screen width when output is to the terminal.
(Nota: isso se aplica ao Linux não embutido, o utilitário ps
em outras variantes do Unix pode funcionar de forma diferente.)
