System: NetBSD wopr.int.purplei.com 1.5_ALPHA NetBSD 1.5_ALPHA (_WOPR_) #0: Wed Jul 26 22:44:14 BST 2000 abs@wopr.int.purplei.com:/files/transient/netbsd/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/_WOPR_ i386


>Description:

        Under 1.5ALPHA, running 'ps -o pid,command' does not truncate the
        command, but 'ps -o command,pid' does:
   
% ps -o command,pid
COMMAND   PID
-bin/tc  2246
ps -o c 20973

        Under earlier versions it gives:

% ps -o command,pid
COMMAND            PID
-tcsh (tcsh)     13060
ps -o command    13067

>How-To-Repeat:
	Run a script that expected the old behaviour of 'ps -o command,pid',
	pick up pieces.
	
>Fix:
	Do not truncate command field to width of 'COMMAND'?
