responded to. In plain text, it looks normal.<BR>

--> output of a process from ps -ef is too long<BR><BR>Hello
guys,<BR><BR>im having some problems to monitor processes with a long output
(most of them are java processes). Hobbit seems to cut the output at certain
size and i have to look for a string which appears at the end of the
output.<BR><BR>where can i change this length limit?<BR><BR><BR>I had the same
problem, also with java processes.<BR><BR>Assuming you are using Linux, look
in the ~hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-linux.sh, look for the line echo
"[ps]"<BR><BR>Change the 'ps ' command which follows according to your systems
requirements.<BR>For example, under SLES, I had to add 'ww' and changee it
to:<BR>ps -Aww -o
pid,ppid,user,start,state,pri,pcpu,time,pmem,rsz,vsz,cmd<BR><BR><BR><BR>Tom
