Subject: `ps -ax` gets cut off when run from cron

Hello,

I have a simple ruby script that writes the content of `ps -ax` to a  
file, when I call it myself, it runs fine, however when I set the  
script in a cron job and cron calls it, the output is truncated at 80  
characters, which is quite annoying. Any ideas as to why this is? I  
have my PATH set in the crontab:

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

Thanks,
Carl Lerche
