ps -ef in AIX gives "UID" in the first column, but the UID it displays only 8 characeters, I need entire uid , some of the uid's length is more than 8, how can i print whole uid ? please advise

@Go,

You have to use the flag -X. -X prints all available characters of each user/group name instead of truncating to the first eight characters.

Alexal,
It worked, thank you very much... I tried ls -lXp before instead of ls -ll , but did not realize I could ues -X with ps -ef , thank you...
