Hi Xiao,

> Since procps v3.3.15, running cpuhotplug03.sh got the following error:

> cpuhotplug03 1 TBROK: No cpuhotplug_do_spin_loop processes found on any processor

> On procps v3.3.15, ps command name selection is extended to 64 characters
> so procps cannot trucate normal command name to 15 characters by default.
> In addition, normal command name is truncated to 16 characters and stored
