Re^2: Proc::ProcessTable truncating cmndline and fname

Good call on Solaris. ps(1) truncates exactly the same way.
So, how does "/usr/ucb/ps auxww" get the full command line if not from the kernel?

Not the same for HP-UX. though.
ps(1) returns far more than Proc::ProcessTable.
I'm wondering if there is a way to configure this so I get back at least what ps gives me.

In both cases, more information is available, but Proc::ProcessTable does not know how to retrieve it. You will need to find where `ps(1)` gets its information and then submit patches for Proc::ProcessTable. A good first place to look is `/proc/``<PID>`. There may be additional files in there with useful information; this is certainly the case on Linux. Unfortunately, I don't have Solaris or HP-UX close at hand, so I can really only speculate on what you will need.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
