How can I know the absolute path of a running process?
% sudo ls -l /proc/PID/exe
eg:
% ps -auxwe | grep 24466 root 24466 0.0 0.0 1476 280 ? S 2009 0:00 supervise sshd % sudo ls -l /proc/24466/exe lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 1 18:05 /proc/24466/exe -> /package/admin/daemontools-0.76/command/supervise
Use:
pwdx $pid
This gives you the current working directory of the pid, not its absolute path.
Usually the which
command will tell you which is being invoked from the shell:
#> which vlc
/usr/bin/vlc
One way is ps -ef
