Thanks. That removed the error but failed to change the process name.
I looked at the code a little more. I'm not experienced in this but it
seems to me that the 'package miniserv;' line calls a precompiled
program? Here's the beginning of the script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# A very simple perl web server used by Webmin
$0='webmin';
# Require basic libraries
package miniserv;
use Socket;
use POSIX;
Then a little farther in the script, I see this code:
# Get miniserv's perl path and location
$miniserv_path = $0;
open(SOURCE, $miniserv_path);
<SOURCE> =~ /^#!(\S+)/; $perl_path = $1;
close(SOURCE);
@miniserv_argv = @ARGV;
So I suspect the process name gets set in this somewhere?
Thanks,
Drew
