Query on headers in ps –ef command

975148Aug 8 2014

I have some confusion in the headers in ps –ef command with regard to the column heading CMD. I would give 2 egs from my system of ps –ef,

UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD

root      4422     1  0 Aug02 ?        00:00:00 crond

sugarcrm  7005     1 98 Aug05 ?        2-15:49:49 /usr/sbin/apache/log

In the 2 rows listed above, crond  in CMD is understandable that the daemon for cron is running but in the 2nd row, /usr/sbin/apache/log implies that the command /usr/sbin/apache/log is running but there is no directory like /user/sbin/apache/log in the system. The directory till /usr/sbin is only present.

Please revert with the reply to my query to clear the confusion in the listing of ps –ef.

Regards
