Turning on line wrapping in Terminal
Authored by: ephramz on Feb 16, '05 12:18:02PM
Hmm, I have all these settings turned on in my Window Settings/Buffer but ioreg and other commands like ps -ax still spit out lines that are too long, not wrapped, and end with a '$'. I even set these as the default and still no luck. Any ideas?

Use "ioreg -l -w 0" (that's a zero) to disable the stupid truncating with the $.

God only knows why Apple would design a non-interactive program to destroy it's output by default...

use 'ps axww' instead, then ps won't truncate its output. (I typically add the 'u' flag too, but I don't remember why)
