in reply to Proc::ProcessTable method questions

What platform are you running on?

On Solaris the length of the cmdline field stored by the OS is 80 characters - it's a limitation of Solaris (certainly as of 5.8/Solaris 8).
This is documented in Proc::ProcessTable's README.solaris.
Proc::ProcessTable can only give you as much as the OS is willing to give.

Read the README.OS file(s) that come with the module.

Cheers.

    I think I may be hitting that 80 character limit on HP-UX 11.00. The README.hpux is pretty worthless, it just lists the supported commands. I'm going to go with that assumption and try to figure out a way around it.

    If you make something idiot-proof, eventually someone will make a better idiot.
    I am that better idiot.
