When they said too long, I didn't think they meant a smaller font (those of you who received the previous email in html know what I'm talking about. ;-)

Interesting.
I was just checking out the output in Xymon 4.3.0-0.beeta2, and the process listing under "procs" is not truncated at all for me.
I was about to setup a new check, and see what I could come up with, and I happened to catch the Xymon command that was run in that process listing, and it was:
ps -Aww -o pid,ppid,user,start,state,pri,pcpu,time,pmem,rsz,vsz,cmd
Good catch!

Hello guys,
im having some problems to monitor processes with a long output (most of them are java processes). Hobbit seems to cut the output at certain size and i have to look for a string which appears at the end of the output.
where can i change this length limit?
I had the same problem, also with java processes.
Assuming you are using Linux, look in the ~hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-linux.sh, look for the line
echo "[ps]"
Change the ‘ps ‘ command which follows according to your systems requirements.
For example, under SLES, I had to add ‘ww’ and changee it to:
ps -Aww -o pid,ppid,user,start,state,pri,pcpu,time,pmem,rsz,vsz,cmd
