cuts off ps aux output when piped

man ps says (emphasis mine):
comm       COMMAND   command name (only the executable name).
                     Modifications to the command name will not be
                     shown.  A process marked  is partly
                     dead, waiting to be fully destroyed by its
                     parent.  The output in this column may contain
                     spaces.  (alias ucmd, ucomm).  See also the args
                     format keyword, the -f option, and the c option.
                     When specified last, this column will extend to
                     the edge of the display.  If ps can not determine
                     display width, as when output is redirected
                     (piped) into a file or another command, the
                     output width is undefined (it may be 80,
                     unlimited, determined by the TERM variable, and
                     so on).  The COLUMNS environment variable or
                     --cols option may be used to exactly determine
                     the width in this case.  The w or -w option may
                     be also be used to adjust width.
Indeed, setting the COLUMNS variable manually helps:
watch "ps aux | grep 'ps aux'"

COLUMNS=2000 watch "ps aux | grep 'ps aux'"

  https://killer.sh Pre Setup Once you've gained access to your terminal it might be wise to spend ~1 minute to setup your environment. You could set these: alias k = kubectl                         # will already be pre-configured export do = "--dry-run=client -o yaml"     # k get pod x $do export now = "--force --grace-period 0"   # k delete pod x $now Vim To make vim use 2 spaces for a tab edit ~/.vimrc to contain: set tabstop=2 set expandtab set shiftwidth=2 More setup suggestions are in the tips section .     Question 1 | Contexts Task weight: 1%   You have access to multiple clusters from your main terminal through kubectl contexts. Write all those context names into /opt/course/1/contexts . Next write a command to display the current context into /opt/course/1/context_default_kubectl.sh , the command should use kubectl . Finally write a second command doing the same thing into ...
