[ILUG] A little grep mystery

[Waider]

According to Liam Bedford:
> 2.0.7 also seems to behave... ps -efw | less gives me wery long lines..

two things occur to me here:
1. specifically with the above, 'w' forces wide output regardless of destination
2. try /usr/bin/ps rather than simply ps to avoid aliases and functions and
   whatnot.

This is a non-issue for me since I type 'w' by habit, but may be of use to the
original poster in terms of datapoints.

Cheers,
Waider.
