Subj : Output of 'top'

Hi!

In a Perl-script I'm checking the output of the 'top'-command to get
some information on some procecces. (@data = `top -c -n 1 -b`) I add
the '-c' switch to  get the whole command-line which then looks like:

          "/usr/bin/perl -w <script-name> <argument>". 

This is fine and what I want. But it only happens like that, if I
start my script  from the command-line - if I start it as a cron-job
(which I want to do), there is just the

          "/usr/bin/perl -w" 

remaining. 

Why? - And: do you have any hints, how I can get the whole
command-line?

Bye: Peter
