The UNIX and POSIX standards require that user and group names be printed as decimal integers when there is insufficient room. This has led to a constant stream of bug reports. With this commit, long names will be truncated and displayed with a trailing visual clue. To avoid truncation. the UNIX and POSIX way to change column width is to rename the column: ps -o pid,user=CumbersomeUserNames -o comm The easy way is to directly specify the desired width: ps -o pid,user:19,comm Reference: http://www.freelists.org/post/procps/rhbz737215-ps-does-not-resolve-some-user-names Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
