Program path name

[lars-t-hansen]

Jørn wants to know if we can somehow record the program path name. This would maybe be /proc/PID/exe, which is a symlink to the executable - we can resolve that name maybe. The purpose of having this is to look for jobs that are running executables from the "wrong" directory and may need help getting things set up properly. But it might also help us disambiguate program names better, in the limit.

I'm envisioning a new field, exe=whatever, in the sonar output.

Good suggestion!

It remains to be seen whether the symlink can be resolved through private directories (if I were an OS designer I would not allow that) but at least for executables installed by us it's possible, and that can at a minimum create a filter that we can check other things against, whether we have full information about them or not.
