Retrieving the full command

Hi All,

I would like to retrieve the whole command that got executed for a running process rather than a truncated string, as a result of running ps -ef on HP-UX.

Please help.

TIA

You can try using 'ps -elf'. It still will not give you the full command, though. Some commands (such as some java processes) will have huge command lines which the ps command cannot show. On Solaris you have /usr/ucb/ps, but it has no equivalent on HP-UX.
