[hobbit] Procs --> output of a process from ps -ef is too long

[Sheets, Jerald]

I recall that there are different options for ps based on whether or not you used the "-".  (it's been a long time!)  
 
good luck!  Let us all know what the options wind up being!

	no, your ps statement was REALLY tiny in the email I responded to.  In plain text, it looks normal.

	Well, I would've figured that if it was wrapping, it would actually be easier to find the string he's looking for at the end of the Java line.  If it was truncating, he wasn't getting it at all.
	
	Did I err in that assumption somewhere?

	When they said too long, I didn't think they meant a smaller font (those of you who received the previous email in html know what I'm talking about. ;-)

	Interesting.
	
	I was just checking out the output in Xymon 4.3.0-0.beeta2, and the process listing under "procs" is not truncated at all for me.
	
	I was about to setup a new check, and see what I could come up with, and I happened to catch the Xymon command that was run in that process listing, and it was:
	
	
	ps -Aww -o pid,ppid,user,start,state,pri,pcpu,time,pmem,rsz,vsz,cmd
	
	
	Good catch!

	Hello guys,
	
	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.
	
	where can i change this length limit?
	
	
	I had the same problem, also with java processes.
	
	Assuming you are using Linux, look in the ~hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-linux.sh, look for the line echo "[ps]"
	
	Change the 'ps ' command which follows according to your systems requirements.
	For example, under SLES, I had to add 'ww' and changee it to:
	ps -Aww -o pid,ppid,user,start,state,pri,pcpu,time,pmem,rsz,vsz,cmd
