Is there a way to either change the name of a running process or start the process with a name of my choosing? On my system, I am running webmin and spamd. Both processes show in ps -acux output as "perl". blacklamb# ps -acux | grep perl root 22476 0.0 2.9 6760 5576 ?? Ss Sat11AM 0:06.30 perl root 33725 0.0 11.0 21604 21196 ?? Ss 9:07PM 0:03.11 perl Is there a way to make the webmin process name "webmin" and the spamd process "spamd"? I'm willing to read but have no idea where to start so please nudge me in the right direction. Thanks, Drew
