According to http://praveen.kumar.in/2010/02/24/getting-untruncated-command-line-options-passed-to-a-solaris-process/ (at least for solaris) the kernel only keep up until certain lenght.
some tool can read into memory of the program to get the ARGS value.
for linux we can use ps eww -p <PID>
root@cass001:/proc/5367# ps eww -p 24615
