I haven't looked at generating PDF yet, but ps.1 formats badly to a tty
on this Ubuntu 7.10 system. Perhaps that suggests it's not PDF
generation that's the problem but the column width settings in the ps.1.
~~~~~~ 80 character line length ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
args COMMANDcommand with all its arguments as a string.
Modifications
to the arguments may be shown. The output in this column
may contain spaces. A process marked <defunct> is partly
dead, waiting to be fully destroyed by its parent.
Sometimes the process args will be unavailable; when
this
happens, ps will instead print the executable name in
brackets. (alias cmd, command). See also the comm format
keyword, the -f option, and the c option.
When specified last, this column will extend to the edge
of the display. If ps can not determine display width,
as
when output is redirected (piped) into a file or another
command, the output width is undefined. (it may be 80,
unlimited, determined by the TERM variable, and so on)
The
~~~~~~ 80 character line length ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There's insufficient separation between the second and third column, and
the line length is larger than desired.
Cheers,
Ralph.
