Show full process name in top
Solution 1:
While top
is running, you can press c to toggle between showing the process name and the command line. To remember the toggle state for next time, press W to save the current configuration to ~/.toprc
.
Solution 2:
This is more of a general suggestion, than an answer:
Try out htop
. It shows the full process name by default and I think it's much easier to use.
Solution 3:
top -c -n 1
should give you what you want.
-c
: automatically toggles between command line and program name-n 1
: this makestop
to exit out immediately without showing the updates every 3 seconds (by default)
Solution 4:
When running top type c to toggle command line/process.
