The "ps" command that the Hobbit client runs is in the
~hobbit/client/hobbitclient-freebssd.sh script. It was recently changed
to provide a specific set of columns and therefore now is

ps -ax -ww -o pid,ppid,user,start,state,pri,pcpu,cputime,pmem,rss,vsz,args

Last I tested this, it did provide the "COMMAND" column. Maybe this has
changed in 6.1 ?
