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> |

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
See Documentation/BUGS file.
PACKAGING
If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux
distribution, please avoid causing troubles. This section
applies to you.
Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches. Send your
patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not
included.
Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
busy enough to bother with, please make this known. Follow
Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
email without need for an account.
For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
to the CFLAGS variable.
