Hope this is an appropriate question for this list:
Version 3.4.10 (of cygwin1.dll - cygcheck output attached):
I am trying to set the process command name of a forked process. Is there a
prescribed way to do this in Cygwin?
I looked for either prctl(2) from Linux or setproctitle(3) from FreeBSD but
they don't link. I've tried things like overwriting the contents of argv[0],
but that didn't work either (I'm assuming it's too late by the time the /proc
entry has been set up).
Run/exec/fork/spawn via a symlink with the name you want to see?
