[SOLVED] Getting trimmed output of a ssh command

Issue

When trying to run a remote, I get a trimmed output. For example, after running:

ssh host@server top -b -c -n 1

I get:

4789 user    20   0  359m 249m 3464 S  0.0  3.3   0:06.83 worker.rb:

Where the original out is much longer. Why?

Solution

top tries to be useful and crops the output to your terminal width. Try ssh -t host@server top -b -c -n 1 to force ssh to create a pseudo-tty (that should have the same width as your real one).

Or alternatively something like ssh host@server COLUMNS=100 top -b -c -n 1.
