Hi,
I am running on Sun10 platform. I am trying to retrieve the full command line for a process by running ps (/usr/bin/ps or /usr/ucb/ps).

Running the "/usr/ucb/ps -agxuwwwww PID" with the user that executed the process i get the full command line. Running the same command with another user on the same process , return only a part of the command.

Is there a way to get the full command, for processes that their user is not the user that started the process?

Another interesting issue is when running "/usr/ucb/ps -e PID", it works fine. Trying to capture the output to a file or pipe return empty result.
For example
/usr/ucb/ps -e 7933 # result "bla bla bla bla"
/usr/ucb/ps -e 7933 > a.out; more a.out # result empty

Thanks in advance,

Fredy

there are some d-trace scripts doing something like this... i think its called "execsnoop"

It seems that i don't have privilegesto run dterm
Is root privileges required?
Is there a way to get it without root privileges?

Thanks in advance,

Fredy

for all dtrace scripts root permission is required.
