I am trying to develop process monitoring to monitor the full running
command instead of the short name, preferably using ucd-snmp/proc.
I can see (as per some previous list mails) that process monitoring uses
pr_fname (16 bytes) as per the nix documentation but I cannot see
anything in ioctl that will give me the full running command out of
/proc. And yet ps is obviously able to display the full running command.
Does anyone know where ps gets its information from ? If it is from
/proc then where because I can see nothing in the documentation that
indicates a full running command option (although it does seem like
ioctl is notoriously poorly documented) ?
Any guidance ?
Some background for interest:
I am building an snmp agent for Ingres database monitoring. Have a good
basic agent running on Linux but I need to provide better defined
process monitoring. So one option is to use popen and run ps -e type
commands but I would imagine that /proc is a faster way to do things.
But I can only see pr_fname and pr_psargs which I have tried but they
still do not give me the info that displays in ps. I started getting
into all this as I began a port to to Tru64.
