Indeed.  I added ‘Show program path’ to htop years ago for that 
reason (but for Nix).  It's bound to ‘p’.  Enjoy.

I don't use top.  Perhaps it has a similar option.  If not, maybe 
upstream's willing to add one.

As this is best asked on their bug tracker, I'm closing this bug.

Kind regards,

T G-R

Hi There,

Using top/htop is helpful to know many info like running packages,memory 
usage...etc

But in guix the problem with any running service it show long path 
/gnu/store/pathxxx/packagename this is not useful as the name of the 
package will be hidden from screen due to its long name. (some 
workaround can be done but its usability disaster)

Can guix give readings to just the package name running without the need 
to mention its path?

check the uploaded images.

ThX!
