top command truncates output

[Chet Nichols III]

make your terminal wider? ;)
what are you trying to do, exactly? i would suggest using ps instead of top.
i don't think top will line wrap, meaning, if you want to get the full
command, you'll have to use ps.

since you can use ps to order by process cpu%, etc, and also get the full
command, you might want to try that :D

for example, this will list the cpu utilization and the full command, and
sort by cpu utilization:

$ ps -ax -k pcpu -o pcpu,command

or you can shorten it to:

$ ps axk pcpu o pcpu,command

good luck!
