Full command text with ps on cygwin?
Is there a way to get the full output from ps on Cygwin?
For instance, none of the following gives me the full wget shell line, just /usr/bin/wget:
$ ps -ef | grep wget
Administ 9844 7780 pty1 13:22:57 /usr/bin/wget
Administ 8036 12648 pty0 13:18:15 /usr/bin/wget

$ ps awx | grep wget

Have you triedps -efl? This is what I normally use for a long listing in Linux. Or you can use-oand specify the columns you want to see. I don't know if these options are available in Cygwin.

Have you triedps -efl? This is what I normally use for a long listing in Linux. Or you can use-oand specify the columns you want to see. I don't know if these options are available in Cygwin.

As you can see from cygwin ps manual the command line is not reported.
It is however available under
/proc/process_PID/cmdline

This prints all Cygwin processes and it's command line, however without spaces:
grep -a "" /proc/*/cmdline
-a tells grep to show content of binary files (cmdline is binary, not text)
"" tell to match to everything. You can replace it to the name of process you are interested
$ grep -a "" /proc/*/cmdline
/proc/10236/cmdline:/usr/bin/mintty-i/Cygwin-Terminal.ico-
/proc/11340/cmdline:-bash
/proc/11672/cmdline:sshslavik@dev.slavikf.local
...
if you want to preserve spaces in command line, do this:
grep -a "" /proc/*/cmdline | xargs -0
