I suppose that you also consistently use ps -ef rather than ps auxww?
If, like me, you spent most of your time on System V, then ps -ef comes perfectly naturally. OTOH, if you grew up on BSD systems, ps auxww flows more naturally from the fingers. Aliases work.....
I 'grew up' with "ps auxww" but a few years ago I found that "ps -ef" worked everywhere that I used but "ps auxww" didn't I standardised on "ps -ef". Occasionally "ps auxww" shows something that "ps -ef" doesn't but it's not often the difference matters.
(I spent a lot of time on Solaris in the early to mid 90s. God I hate what Sun did to sendmail (as if sendmail wasn't bad enough). The default install didn't even understand MX records. Oh Joy (no not Bill).
I used SunOs (nothing called Solaris way back then, at least not on the systems I worked on), then Solaris when it arrived, from about 1988 through to now.
