Package: procps Version: 1:3.2.7-11 Followup-For: Bug #585096 Hello!
For piped output w.procps (like other programs, for example ps) should not trim its output at all. Some - fortunately not so important - scripts stopped to work for me. The ps program had the same bug for a while (years ago) and that was fixed. I don't believe that guessing magic numbers into $COLUMN is a good solution for the problem. That may be applicable as a workaround if it would worked. This environment variable is ignored when the output is not a terminal and I think it is good that way. If this bug is really fixed at version 3.2.8, then you should close this. Unfortunately I don't have the circumstances right now for testing it.
