Would it be possible to include the app parameters as well?
Can all processes read sysfs events?
No, but application parameters are usually not secret.
There might be security implications here. The app parameters might contain sensitive information, like passwords or tokens.
It's a well known security vulnerably to provide password etc.. as application parameter since everybody can read them through procfs.
Can't the uevent receiver query the kernel to get that info from the PID?
I'm leaning also towards just providing the PID and not the application name. The information should be as short as possible.
