Not exactly related to the topics, but I am facing a problem related to this. When I run ps -aux in my Namecheap server, it shows PHP processes wither the filenames, but when I run the same px -aux command in y VPS (with LAMP, i do not get the filenames but simply /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
Any idea how to make my LAMP server in my VPS to show PHP filenames when I execute ps -aux ?

define(‘CLI’, defined(‘STDIN’) || (
empty($_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’])
&& !isset($_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’])
&& count($_SERVER[‘argv’]) > 0
));

if (CLI) {
// If called from CLI…
} else {
// ..or from a browser/wget call.
