thanks Robert, it is always educational to read your answers!

i have set kern.ps_arg_cache_limit, as you suggested to 4k, but i think 512 would have been enough (excluding those pathological cases of 'command *') btw, this tomcat/java command line was 312 (why not use a config file!).

which brings on another issue:

ps -o command= -p 777
/usr/local/diablo-jdk1.6.0/bin/java -Djava.endorsed.dirs= -classpath [...]
while
ps -o comm= -p 777
java

ps distinguishes "comm", which is the binary name as stored in the process structure's p_comm field, and the command line, which is p_args. From the ps(1) man page:

KEYWORDS
     The following is a complete list of the available keywords and their
     meanings.  Several of them have aliases (keywords which are synonyms).
...
     comm       command
     command    command and arguments
