Viewing full output of PS command

Using the auxww flags, you will see the full path to output in both your terminal window and from shell scripts.

ps aux lists all processes executed by all users. See man ps for details. The ww flag sets unlimited width.

-w         Wide output. Use this option twice for unlimited width.w          Wide output. Use this option twice for unlimited width.

I found the answer on the following blog:

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 -+Sps 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.

simple and perfect:

ps -efww

won't truncate line
