Problems with ps command / how to show full process path?
Hello!
I have run into the following problem on a debian sarge box when playing
around with the system: I log in as root, change to root's home
directory and then type "apache". Since /usr/sbin is in the PATH, the
apache webserver starts.
If I then do: "ps -Alf | grep apache", there will be multiple output
lines which contain the string "apache".
But at this point, in the output lines of the ps command, I would like
to see the string "/usr/sbin/apache" instead of simply "apache". I found
no way to do this although reading the docs, trying all the command line
switches of ps, etc. So the question is:
How can you force the ps command to show the full path of the shown
processes in every case?
Thank you very much,
Peter
P.S. I know that you usually should start apache via /etc/init.d/apache
start, but I would like to know how to solve this problem for all
running processes, and the described situation with apache is only one
example of many others.
