Look in the file slon-tools.pm.

There is a function that indicates how ps should get run.  Evidently
your system isn't being recognized properly, and ps options are not
right for your system.

sub ps_args {
  my $sys=`uname`;
  chomp $sys;   # strip off edges
  if ($sys eq "Linux") {
    return "/bin/ps auxww";
  } elsif ($sys eq "FreeBSD") {
    return "/bin/ps -auxww";
  } elsif ($sys eq "SunOS") {
    return "/usr/ucb/ps -auxww";
  } elsif ($sys eq "AIX") {
    return "/usr/bin/ps auxww";
  }
  return "/usr/bin/ps -auxww";    # This may be questionable for other systems; extend as needed!
}
