You too noticed ps -e truncates process names. At first, I suspected pgrep was a script over "ps -e" but pgrep is a C executable.
ps and pgrep are both linked to libproc.so: objdump -x /bin/ps | grep libproc objdump -x /usr/bin/pgrep | grep libproc NEEDED libproc-3.2.7.so Probably/maybe a common function in libproc has a bug/limitation (?). -- Mike -- pgrep cannot match some long filenames https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113096 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
