Problem identifying process

beegster · 06-27-2004, 11:23 PM

HI All

Is there an 'easish' way to find out what directory/files a process is using? Before you all jump in and say just do a long listing in ps I will give you an example that isnt that straight forward. If for example you have a java process that is running a Java application in its virtual machine, how then do you tell which directory the Java Application was originally executed from?

ANy Help much appreciated.

Ctrl/Esc brings up the process table. On KDE anyways

This might not be any help, but I think I saw something like that in "man proc" which talks about the /proc "virtual filesystem"
