By the way, this also affects killall (for whoever writes scripts).

Title:
  top and ps truncate command after 15 chars

Status in Procps - A system call tracer:
  Confirmed
Status in “procps” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: procps

  I guess this is an issue with 'top', and not really Ubuntu related,
  but...

  I noticed something hogging my CPU, and top revealed:

  15219 root      30  10  109m 104m 4092 R   92  5.2   1:44.15 update-
  apt-xapi

  Of course, there is no such process called 'update-apt-xapi'.

  top truncates the process name to 15 chars (this was in fact 'update-
  apt-xapian-index' running).
