retrieve absolute path from pid

[RAC_1]

Finally Bill talked about option -x for ps command. You need to have ps patch for it. Else you can use UNIX95 command. Also as explained earlier by few memebers, if you started the progrm with absolute path, you will get it, else not.

ps -efx|grep "xyz"
UNIX95= ps -ef -o "ruser,args,pid" | grep "xyz"

Bill said it all. The full path is only stored if the process is started that way.

i got the filename from the program below, on 11.00, 11.11 and 11.23.

#include
#include

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
struct pst_vm_status vmstat;
struct pst_filedetails psfdetails;
char name[1024];
int ret;
int pid = atoi(argv[1]);

/* last parameter to getprocvm is 1 */
/* because it worked :P will confirm */
/* with vm folks later */
if ((ret = pstat_getprocvm(&vmstat, sizeof(vmstat), pid, 1)) <0) {
perror("pstat_getprocvm");
exit(10);
}

if ((ret=pstat_getfiledetails(&psfdetails, sizeof(psfdetails),&(vmstat.pst_fid))) <0) {
perror("pstat_getfiledetails");
exit(20);
}

// printf ("device: %d, inode: %u\n", psfdetails.psfd_rdev, psfdetails.psfd_ino);

if ((ret=pstat_getpathname(name, 256, &(vmstat.pst_fid))) <0) {
perror("pstat_getpathname");
exit(30);
}

puts(name);
}

This is to track down the childs.

Hope it helps..

/bin/ps -ef | awk -v v= ' ($3 == v) { print $2 } '

Thanks
