Title:
top and ps truncate command after 15 chars
Status in Procps:
Confirmed
Status in procps package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: procps
I guess this is an issue with 'top', and not really Ubuntu related,
but...
I noticed something hogging my CPU, and top revealed:
15219 root 30 10 109m 104m 4092 R 92 5.2 1:44.15 update-
apt-xapi
Of course, there is no such process called 'update-apt-xapi'.
top truncates the process name to 15 chars (this was in fact 'update-
apt-xapian-index' running).
