[Xymon] Include full command line in top output

[Mailing Lists]

Sorry about that. I should have proofread my original post.

The -c argument to top will show the full command line instead of just the process name. I've made this change to hobbit client-linux.sh as shown below.

 $TOP must be set, the install utility should do that for us if it exists.
if test "$TOP" != ""
then
    if test -x "$TOP"
    then
        echo "[top]"
    $TOP -c -b -n 1
    fi
fi

I do see the beginning of the command line as shown in this before and after client data snapshot. 

BEFORE:
PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND            
24525 tomcat    20   0 2805m 958m  11m S   52  1.0  45:03.00 java  

AFTER:
 PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND            
31104 tomcat    20   0 2365m 942m  11m S   39  1.0 380:45.86 /var/jdk6/bin/java



My thought is that top truncates based on terminal width because I see more of the command line when I run top -c manually in a fullscreen terminal. Is there anyway to get a wider column width when running top via the xymon client?

By the way, I am running Xymon 4.3.0-0.20101114.beta3.

I don't understand - what command is it that you want displayed ?

If it's the command used to run "top", then the easiest way is to just add this to the content of the "[top]" section of the message that the client generates (see the xymon-4.3.7/client/YOUR-OS.sh scripts). The "[top]" section is copied verbatim into the cpu-status text, without being processed in any way.
