What is my Unix process doing?

USS 1 Minute

I was familiar with the USS command ps -ef which displays output like

     UID        PID       PPID  C    STIME TTY       TIME CMD 
  WEBSRV   16842766          1  - 07:23:05 ?         0:00 -sh -c   /web/httpd1/bin/apachectl -k start -f /web/httpd1/conf/httpd.conf   -DNO_f

For Zowe threads I was getting

/u/tmp/zowep33//bin/utils/configmgr -script /u/tmp/zowep33//bin/commands/inter

which was annoyingly truncated.

The command ps -e -o args > aa gives the whole command line (up to 1024 bytes) such as

/u/tmp/zowep33//bin/utils/configmgr -script /u/tmp/zowep33//bin/commands/internal/start/component/cli.js

Another useful command when you know it.

I retired from IBM where I worked on MQ on z/OS, and did customer stuff. I retired, and keep my hand in with MQ, by playing with it! I'm now an #IBMChampion from my work trying to make z/OS product more usable.
