PS command ouput with fixed width for each column

aixsolarisunix

I am trying to execute some PS commands on IBM AIX and Solaris. The output I get is not properly formatted, I want to see the values for each column with some fixed width.

Is there anyway I can mention width for each column that PS command shows?

In GNU ps, you can specify the field width to widen a field:

ps axw o user:10,pid:8,%cpu:8,cmd

In Solaris and AIX, you can specify the column header to widen columns. Here, I'm padding with hyphens, but you could use something else:

ps -ef -o user=---USER---,pid=---PID--,%cpu=--%CPU--,cmd

This also works for GNU ps.

How to set solaris locale

Locale settings are done via environment variables - you don't need to edit system files unless you want to change the defaults for every process on the system. The locale(5) and environ(5) man pages have more details on the various variables that affect locale settings.

locale -a will show the installed locales so you can make sure you've set it to one that's actually there.
