I have a box running the Communigate mail server and an extract from ps -ef
on that box looks like
root 727 584 0 Apr11 ? 00:00:19 /usr/local/sbin/CommuniGate/CGServer
root 728 584 0 Apr11 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/sbin/CommuniGate/CGServer
yet when I do ps -ef|grep CGServer I get just this
root 7429 7377 0 09:38 pts/7 00:00:00 grep CGServer
Any ideas ?
but in the interim (i.e. while writing this) I piped the output through cat
and got
root 727 584 0 Apr11 ? 00:00:19 /usr/local/sbin/CommuniGate/CGSe
root 728 584 0 Apr11 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/sbin/CommuniGate/CGSe
and then I remembered this being discussed here recently - ps
'intelligently' cutting its output at column 80 if STDOUT is not a tty. ps
-efw saves the day but is there any way of stopping ps from doing this
permanent basis via an environment variable or a configuration option. As
sure as eggs is eggs, this will catch me again in 6 months time.
