Bug ID: 217159
Summary: ps default to 79 characters can break ps|grep in shell
scripts
Product: Base System
Version: 11.0-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People

Patch to set unlimited terminal size if we can't determine terminal
characteristics
FreeBSD ps defaults to output width of 79 characters if it cannot determine tty
width. This can hurt scripts that use "ps | grep" and run, for example, ssh on
a non-interactive shell.
I've provided more context here:
http://deepix.github.io/2016/10/10/psww.html
I've also provided a patch as an attachment in unified diff format.
Note that this problem does not exist on Linux or OS X.
