Unix, Solaris Process list without truncation

Thanks to John McClain from Sun. Sometimes i had problems identifing a specific process id. the standard ps command truncates the commandline arguments. To avoid this its possible to log the process id after having started a process:
echo §! > /tmp/myApplication.pid
Further, its easy to "calculate" uptimes with such an approach. If this is not present, try using another ps Command. Try:

/usr/ucb/ps -auxwww grep java

If its present, this ps dumps out processes without truncating commandlines. e.g.
