First of all, this is better done using os.path.join:

path = os.path.join('/proc', str(pid), 'cmdline')
if os.path.exists(path):
     with open(path) as f:
         ...

More importantly this isn't terribly Pythonic as it's not over-using 
exceptions :) IMO a better way would be:

try:
     with open(path) as f:
         ...
except IOError as e:
     # ignore if doesn't exist
     if e.errno != errno.ENOENT:
         raise

Also, formatting is better than concatenation, e.g. at least:

bname = os.path.basename(argv0)
print("Connected to application: '{}'".format(bname))
