I'm currently inspecting my Linux process list, trying to parse it in order to get one particular process (and kill it).
I ran into an annoying issue:
The stdout display is somehow truncated (maybe a terminal length issue, I don't know), breaking my parsing.

As you can see, to complete process command line is truncated.
Any clue on how to get the full version ?

If you only need it to work on Linux, you can just enumerate /proc/[1-9]*/exe or /proc/[1-9]*/cmdline.

Or you can add -ww to "ps" to avoid truncating the output.

Note that the /proc/*/exe report the actual executable. The command line
reported by "ps" (from /proc/*/cmdline) can be modified by the program, so
it doesn't necessarily reflect the program being run.


That is what I was searching for. It's in ps man page, I don't know why I missed it in the first place.
Thanks.
