MacOS – Activity Monitor missing process arguments

activity-monitormacos

Is there a way to tell Activity Monitor to show me the process arguments the same way ps does for example?

So instead of this (Activity Monitor):

ActivityMontior

I would like to see this (ps):

ps

If this is impossible in Activity Monitor, is there any other application that can do it? I have tried the latest htop from http://hisham.hm/htop but interestingly it is having the same issue. htop on Linux however was always showing process arguments similar to ps.

To answer my own question: it is not possible to make Activity Monitor show the arguments, however using htop from the "htop" package does exactly what I want:

$ brew search htop
    htop ✔     htop-osx

$ htop
