For future reference...

According to what I'm able to find online, /proc/[pid]/cmdline contains 
the command line used to launch the process. You can find a fair amount 
of process-related info in the /proc/pid hierarchy.

(I wrote a C library function some years back to do the reverse search, 
so that programs could query their own name to find out if other 
instances (of themselves) were already running.)
