In Solaris, the ps output is truncated, so if you have a command with many long parameters, you will not see them all.
If you are interested to see the parameters of a java program, /usr/bin/ps -ef will not give you the expected output
$ ps -ef | grep java
ldapusr 10744 10692 0 09:50:23 ? 0:09
/var/opt/mps/oracle/oid/jdk/bin/java -server -Djava
.security.policy=/var/opt/mp
So you could use /usr/ucb/ps awwx to get the long line
$ /usr/ucb/ps awwx | grep java
10744 ? S 0:09 /var/opt/mps/oracle/oid/jdk/bin/
