on Debian 13 GNOME. Is `gnome-session-b` truncated? If so, then what is the complete `COMM`?

In the output of systemd-inhibit, the COMM column is truncated to fit the terminal width. For the entry:

text
benjamin_loison 1000 benjamin_loison 4411 gnome-session-b shutdown                                                 user session inhibited                    block

The truncated COMM is gnome-session-b, which is almost certainly gnome-session-binary.

Why?

  • The gnome-session-binary is the process name for the GNOME session manager's main binary.
  • The truncation is common in terminal outputs when the full name exceeds the column width.

So, the complete COMM is gnome-session-binary.
