ww and c
Authored by: grinnelljosh on Nov 13, '03 07:13:57PM

The original code prevents two bugs.
1. the 'ww' flag tells ps to not crop the textual output, which could screw up output (this has happened to me)
2. although the 'c' flag seems to do the job, it doesn't account for multiple processor machines, where two processes (grep and ssh, for instance) could be running at the same time
