Try using the -w option to the ps commandline more than once:

ps auxww

that should give you a complete listing that includes the full
commandline.  See the manpage for more info on ps:

     -w      Use 132 columns to display information, instead of the default
             which is your window size.  If the -w option is specified more
             than once, ps will use as many columns as necessary without
             regard for your window size.
