display a process args list

Hi,

I have a problem.

Suppose there's a process running in background which has many arguments, does anyone know how I can display all the arguments?

I tried both commands ‘ps -o args -fu erwin' and ‘pgrep -f proc_name' but they show only 80 characters which is not enough to display all the arguments in my case.

Thanks for your help

Erwin

Another method

Solaris:
pargs <PID>

Linux:
tr '0' '\n' < /proc/<PID>/cmdline

Cheers
