This is not the behaviour I see on other versions of ubuntu, so it changed for the worse between 18.04 and 20.04; it seems quite a fundamental default to have changed, and in very much the wrong direction - that 'within the first 15 characters' seems absolutely archaic.
I notice that /proc/$PID/comm _is_ truncated to 15 characters on both my 18.04 and 20.04 machines, but killall works correctly in 18.04. That pidof and killall behave differently is at best irritating. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1931802 Title: killall only matching first 15 characters of process name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/psmisc/+bug/1931802/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
