How to determine the environment of an already running process?

[Geoff Wild]

Can be done with berkley ps on Solaris - how to do it on HP-UX?

Can't be truss - as that needs to be launched prior to the command.

Thanks...Geoff

Geoff,

No real answer for you, but I remembered, and found, a similar thread from a couple of months ago.

This is one of those "it depends" questions. It depends upon whether you have gdb on your box and whether the executable has been stripped (of symbols).

Execute "nm /xxx/yyy/myprog
If you see "no symbols" then Stop. Go Directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.

If you are still executing at this point then determine the PID (e.g. 12345) of the process (myprog):

gdb /xxx/yyy/myprog 12345
set variable $q = (char **) environ
while *$q
print *$q++
end
