Thanks. Do you know 'ps -o comm' truncates the name or not?

Yes, I've noticed this, but I intended to use _process_names only with the
three commands at least for now, because _pgrep, _pidof and _killall all seem to
have their own tweaks.

But I've just found that killall on FreeBSD requires the truncated process names.
Probably better to add an option to _process_names to truncate the name and use
it from _killall.
