Its seems the max buffer size for /proc/<pid>/cmdline is 4096 bytes is there any other way to pull the full command line argument out of the kernel for a particular process? Obviously the kernel is able to read the full command line string without any problems but its only writing the first 4096 bytes to /proc/pid/cmdline $ cat /proc/29378/cmdline | wc -c 4096 --- Rodrick R.
