yes,

X/Open Standards are with "-" and Berkeley Standards are without "-"... the
problem is, that i cant use both syntax together.

Im still working on it    =)

>> Assuming you are using Linux, look in the

>> For example, under SLES, I had to add 'ww' and changee it to:
>> ps -Aww -o pid,ppid,user,start,state,pri,pcpu,time,pmem,rsz,vsz,cmd
