This is indeed ultimately a kernel limitation, one which will likely never be fixed. Procps should probably be modified to use /proc/<pid>/cmdline instead of the first line of /proc/<pid>/status for command names since this can affect other programs as well as indicated by the Debian bug.
In the mean time, check_procs is broken. Can we work around the problem by configuring nagios-plugins with a ps argument that returns the full command name, e.g. something like --with-ps-command="/bin/ps axwwo 'stat uid pid ppid vsz rss pcpu etime command'" instead of --with-ps-command="/bin/ps axwwo 'stat uid pid ppid vsz rss pcpu etime comm args'" ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1082767 Title: Configure-time ps command truncates command names To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/1082767/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
