Does anyone know a way of getting the full process name/args from the
ps -ef output (on Solaris  6,8 and 10) without truncating it to
80bytes?
I know you can run "/usr/ucb/ps -auxwww" but not all our Solaris boxes
have this.

Thanks,

Ed.

Not possible.

The `pargs' command may do what you want.

You can use /usr/ucb/ps auxwww, but on Solaris 10 you have to make sure
that you have rights to run this command as Admin or you must be the
owner of the process to be able to see its full cmdline.

Thanks for everyone's replies. I can't find pargs on Solaris 6 and 8 (I
haven't been able to test on Solaris 10 yet). Also, as I said above,
not all our boxes have the /usr/ucb/ps.
As the first reply said, I think this might be impossible!

Perhaps "pstack pid" or "pfiles pid" will give you more information.

Thanks. Unfortunately that doesn't work either.
