PuTTY terminal width: ps output
In a PuTTY terminal window, I am struggling to get ps to display the full command line for long commands, despite trying to override the output width. Ideally, I'd like to get ps to wrap. I tried:
ps axf --cols 300
The lines just get truncated at terminal width.
If I redirect to a file, no chopping of lines.
However, more <file> shows full lines wrapped, but, cat chops the ends off.
Any suggestions?

Note, I also tried to get ps to ignore termnal width by adding w w :
ps axfww
Lines still chopped at terminal width.

I literally have no idea what's happened, I just retried all the combinations from yesterday, all wrap fine :smileysurprised:!
I did not reboot the ReadyNAS, but I have rebooted the PC (Win10). I was very confused as this obviously worked in the past, and I just started to wonder whether it was 'broken' by the recent patch/update.
I am running 6.10.5 Hotfix 1.
