Hi,

I am looking for a bit of help with Solaris with porting one of the
app. That app among other things needs to find few things about parent
and grandparent process:
- command line used to start it (I am not sure if it is possible for
process to change that -- it is another question... But if possible I
definitely need original cmd line). I tried to use /usr/bin/ps, but it
truncates cmd line to 80 symbols
- process's cwd (which could be taken from /proc/pid/cwd, I assume)
- path to the binary that was used to start that process (i.e.
equivalent of /proc/pid/exe link available in Linux)

How can I get this info? Is it possible to link some lib or I am
doomed using system/pipe calls to invoke some utility and then parsing
it's output?

Thank you!.

Sincerely yours,
Michael.

The command "pargs" works great.  However, that command first showed
up in Solaris 9 so that might not be an option for you.  You might
want to try "/usr/ucb/ps -auxwwww".  For me, "pargs -l" on Solaris 9
or greater works great.
