...and which basically duplicates the current capability of the "ps -a" option,
which does its best to gather the full command line along with the task's
environment variables.
The problem is that it depends upon accessing user-space memory which may
not be available, i.e., either swapped out or configured out of the dumpfile
entirely. That makes the output really ugly -- for example on the live
system that I'm running on:
crash> ps -f
